[edit] Notability

I have found several online articles written by Mr. Gruber, but a cursory search does not turn up much in the way of third-party notability resources about him, other than his MIT information pages and this Wikipedia article. Is being an employee of a university notability by itself? I will dig a little deeper. -- KingNewbs (talk) 16:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I have added a couple footnotes and cited them in the text. -- KingNewbs (talk) 16:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

MIT is not just a university, it is one of the top universities in the World. Gruber is a well-known health economist. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 04:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with you about MIT being automatic evidence for notability, but in this case I think external evidence for notability is certainly present. I was definitely hasty in my initial edit, and it has been very educational to see the reaction -- I've learned a lot about what to look for and how to tag established articles. Thanks. -- KingNewbs (talk) 21:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
