Why is this a speedy delete? The subject was a respectable scientist of middling significance and the article has appropriate references.

[edit] what to do

It is a perfectly appropriate article, and should not have been speedied--speedy is only for articles that are obviously NN. But the article must be wikified further in the style of other WP science articles., as follows:

• saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like "A.b. is an internationally-known professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates" , or A.B. is a notable authority on Whatever. She is ... (etc) (whatever applies best). Use the exact wording I recommend, including either the word "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; -- May sound silly, but that is what many people look for here. I already did this for you
• listing college degrees with university and year --
• listing important awards, with year
• listing important memberships and offices held
• listing books published as formal references style: Author, title, Publisher, year ISBN if possible.
• listing some major published papers, say how many total. State the importance the journals are. Say how many other papers cited them. For this period, the only source for this is Science Citation Index complete back to 1900. ; if you do not have this available, let me know & I will add this information

and, most important, giving additional 3rd party sources. Otherwise, there will be a certain amount of uncertainity whether you have followed your one source too closely.

These is, very unfortunately, some prejudice against people from the academic world. Specially ones not in google. DGG 00:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
