Deletion of Geoff Marshall (chemist)

Comment: Since this is a division-level service award, I'd be surprised if it were enough to get past . I think it would be important to know whether he was a fellow or simply a member of the RSC. I haven't found any evidence that he was the former

Comment: There is another reference for him winning the award https://pubs.rsc.org/EN/content/articlelanding/1989/ap/ap9892600171/unauth#!divAbstract. The article could do with improving - the "active" years in the info box appear to refer only to his volunteer guide activities, not being an analytical chemist, so are a bit misleading. However, he does seem to pass

Comment: I don't think the award is enough for  and there doesn't seem to be anything else there. So the only possibility for notability would be for  for his travel books, but I didn't find the reliably published independent reviews that would be needed for notability that way. I'd be willing to change my mind if enough such reviews turn up (say more than one book reviewed, and at least four reviews total

Comment: Being a member of the RSC, or any professional society for that matter, is ''not'' enough to show notability as some people seem to think.  Being a fellow would be a stronger indication, but there is no evidence that he is that and it would still only be an indication.  The society award does not seem to be an especially prestigous one; it was given to fifteen other people in the same year as Marshall according to the article.  He comes nowhere near a  pass; his work, such as it is, has not had a significant impact.  Contrary to claims above, https://pubs.rsc.org/en/results?searchtext=Author%3AG.%20B.%20Marshall Marshall's publications from the 70s and 80s are easy to find online.  He has only a small number of published papers and gscholar shows low citation counts.  His later career as an author is an even more dismal notability failure of .  Literally thousands of local history books are published every year.  There is no sign that any special interest has been taken in Marshall's contribution other than his own claim that ''London's Docklands'' is "award-winning".  He doesn't say which award and I can find no independent confirmation, let alone that the award is of any significance

Comment: The Anne Bennett Memorial Award recognises exceptional voluntary services over a period of years to the RSC Analytical Division - typically at least ten years. It's basically a long service award and doesn't pass the bar set by  which requires 'a highly prestigious academic award or honor'. Nothing else here passes notability either. I'm sure he's a good man but he doesn't warrant inclusion in an encyclopaedia
