Deletion of William T. Kane

Comment: In addition to the reasons given by the nominator, the article contains numerous dubious references and some dubious claims, raising significant  issues. For example, for the subject's 1966 PhD from the University of Missouri the article gives two refs. The first, occuring in the leade, is a broken link to https://celebstrendingnow.com/william-kane-net-worth/ celebstrendingnow.com/william-kane-net-worth/. The other ref, occuring in the 'Patents' section is this https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/sn86033359/2008-08-01/ed-1/seq-6/, which is a link to an August 2008 story in a local Lake Placid newspaper regarding a town-wide bike ride event. The 'Education and Career' section opens with: "He attended the university of Colorado in Boulder where he studied Geology, publishing in 1949 a paper on Sediment Size Analysis which calculated textual parameters using Fortran". The second part of this sentence is both nonsensical and implausible. The programming language Fortran did not exist until 1954 at the earliest and there were certanly no papers published in 1949 about programming something in Fortran. The ref given to support this claim https://books.google.com/books?id=QUVSAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA627&lpg=PA627&dq=kane+william+t.+crystallography&source=bl&ots=k7fAUBOz_9&sig=ACfU3U2FANtYU_x9n56F88aeB97kgtOLhw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjt0L2_6J7oAhXSknIEHbilCqEQ6AEwA3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=kane%20william%20t.%20crystallography&f=false is garbled and unclear. All in all, too little here to indicate notability under , and there are some  issues as well

Comment: per  and , although it also seems that the subject does not pass  or . Is there maybe a  issue here? The article presents a garbled view of things but there seems to be an underlying grain of truth. Someone named William T. Kane, of U. Missouri, really did publish an article about a FORTRAN analysis of sediment grain, but it was in 1963 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-3091.1963.tb01201.x. The Google Books link for that claim, to the ''Geological Survey Bulletin'', really does mention Kane and a FORTRAN program for sediment analysis, but it's just an index entry, insufficiently in-depth to use as a source for anything. And the metadata page for the Google Books link really does say that it's from 1949, but Google often lists compilations from periodicals by their start date even though many parts of the compilation may be from much later. A competent editor would have noticed the mismatch and dug deeper to find out the real story; this one just spewed back what they read without thinking about whether it made sense. For a similarly garbled-looking story, see another creation by the same editor, Mabel Norris Reese
