Not Wikipedia notable. There does not appear to be enough reliable, secondary published sources independent of the subject and with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to maintain an independent article on this topic. -- Suntag ☼ 17:04, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. There may not be lots of google hits for this person, but since his obit comes from a educational institution, I doubt it is a hoax. Also, most of his life was in the pre-internet era. I'm not comfortable deleting this before someone checked newspaper records either in Lexis Nexis or offline.

Follow-up: Weak keep Lexis Nexis didn't turn up anything, which significan't increases the chance this will be the only source. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- The problem is that the creator went away and stopped expanding it. The proximity fuse is a notable invention. Its inventor is said to have had other patents, suggesting monor notability, but until we are told what they are, we cannot really judge. Note. I have just removed the longstanding promise to expand and substituted a stub-tag. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
