Thomas Adams (professor)

Non-notable professor. According to the editor that contested the prod, he has contributed to a textbook. However, the article itself does not assert that, nor do I think that it alone would be enough to make him notable. JRP 14:06, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete No claim to notability. ~MDD4696 20:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. I deleted the prod because he is credited as a contributor/coauthor of what appears to be a standard (if rather technical) reference work, not a textbook, which would meet the notability standard. Monicasdude 23:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment According to his website, the book is Heat Transfer Calculations. He's not listed as the author of the book, although he may have contributed to it(I can find no evidence, on amazon.com's page on the book or on mcgraw hill's page on the book, that he contributed to it). Even assuming he did, I don't think that lets him meet Wikipedia:Criteria_for_inclusion_of_biographies/Academics --Xyzzyplugh 02:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
