Can you be more specific? I had a look at the 11 steps article and it seems like we are not far off. Was there something in particular? Just curious . . . Cxbrx 02:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Doctoral Students

The Infobox has a doctoral_students tag that lists the following doctoral students:

• Resve Saleh - Professor at University of British Columbia with a Mathematics Genealogy Project page that does mention Professor Newton.
• Srini Devadas - Professor at MIT
• Bill Lin - Professor at University of California, San Diego
• Jeff Deutsch - Consultant

The talk page for the infobox template says "The intention is any students that aren't notable enough to have their own wikipage should be deleted." None of the above doctoral students appear to be notable, so I've removed them. Feel free to discuss notability here, and if they meet the notability standard, then please start bio pages.
