[edit] Wikipedia:Notability (academics)

Does this subject meet the guideline of Wikipedia:Notability (academics)? If so, the article needs to assert that fact to avoid speedy deletion. - Crockspot 02:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I did read the criteria very carefully before creating this article. This article provides additional information regarding the researcher who is mentioned on the QCA (Quantum Cellular Automata) page.

I humbly submit to the administrator's decision on this, but would request more clarity (perhaps some examples?)in the documentaion for criteria 7 for articles (unremarkable...). Certainly "remarkableness" is a subjective term and is a quality that spans a wide spectrum. For instance, I would have liked to see a Wikipedia article on Craig Lent, also mentioned in the QCA article.

Thanks for the link Crockspot... will respond Buttlumpy 02:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


Dr. Tougaw should have an article. He is a significant expert in the field of Electrical Engineering, especially QCA. He has published significant articles, having won multiple awards. More importantly, Dr. Tougaw is a key researcher in the field of QCA. Furthermore, he blows the "better than average professor" standard away with his listed accomplishments. This article needs more details, but should definitely stay. (Queenorych 13:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Sources

I found a few things that may help to assert notability in this article. The first three are news releases, the last three are other things that Tougaw has published. - Crockspot 03:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
