Deletion of Andrew McIntosh (professor)

Comment: The fact that he is English, and there are not many English creationists, is hardly a claim to fame. I find that argument absurd. On a global scale, he is a fourth or fifth tier creationist, very far from a leading figure in the movement, except perhaps on a limited local scale, which would be all the more insignificant as creationism is a tiny movement in England. Not enough in the way of substantial feature coverage for his activities as a creationist in reliable independent secondary sources. As far as his career as a professor goes, it looks solid, but rather run of the mill. Rather unspectacular, in fact, with minimal coverage in news sources, largely limited to a single rather unspectacular award from a non-scientific body, of which he was not the sole recipient. Therefore fails both  and . I find the argument that "a professor in the UK is pretty much automatically notable" absurd as well. That is not in accordance with  or any other guidelines. Nothing worth saving here or merging elsewhere

Comment: A web of science h-index of at least 17 just gives a pass of rof#C1 in the relatively low cited field of combustion science. His religious activities pass

Comment: I think, under  Criterion 5 - a professor in the UK is pretty much automatically notable. Also, creationists in this sort of position in the UK are so rare that that on its own is probably good enough

Comment: does not meet  criterion 5 as his professorship is not significant or notable. It is certainly not true that any UK professor is notable. Religious minorities are not per se notable. The one important thing, the award his team received, is not specific to him and not a scholarly prize, but from Times Higher Education. Thus he fails  as well

Comment: I am more hesitant than usual to !vote this way, as he appears to have gained some attention from the news media.  However, I don't think this coverage passes the  criteria, and is not extensive enough to get him past .  If McIntosh receives further news coverage in future years, I can see him passing the notability threshold, but not now

Comment: Those editors saying "a professor in the UK is pretty much automatically notable" are appealing to #C5. In the UK, an ordinary "professor" is called a "lecturer" or "senior lecturer," and the "Professor" title is reserved for what in the US would be called "Distinguished Professor" or "Head of Department." Therefore, they are suggesting, #C5 apples. -- Special:Contributions/101.117.56.15|101.117.56.15
