Comment: I'm reluctant to give up on this character, but the lengthiest source I have found is in a http://books.google.com/books?id=tPo8MlASnpEC&pg=PA93&dq=Ora+Railsback&hl=en&sa=X&ei=sk6LU8HVLMThoATgh4DYBA&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Ora%20Railsback&f=false thesis or dissertation, and is on his being largely responsible for starting the Eastern Illinois band. For the Stroboconn (which may merit an article, but for now I have created a redirect), I see him given joint credit for the idea behind it, and I find a http://www.google.com.mx/patents/US2221523 patent issued to him and cited in several subsequent patents. He appears to have taught at Eastern Illinois, completed his doctorate at Chicago while there and eventually become head of the physics department, done military service in WWII and returned to his job, and I see him as a faculty member at Brevard in the mid-1960s. But I suspect some of the colleges named in the article as it stands are erroneous, and I am not finding enough coverage to establish a solid biography, let alone enough to satisfy the |general notability guideline. And neither the work leading to the Stroboconn nor starting the band are sufficient to meet more specialized notability guidelines. Please ping me if more substantial coverage is found, and I will then edit the article for coherence, tone, and reference identification. I'd like this to be saved, but our notability requirements are either that the person be of obvious importance (e.g.: won a Nobel) or that there is substantial independent coverage, and I have to concur with the nominator, I can't find it
