Deletion of David Ridgway (scholar)

Comment: I'm sure he's a fine fellow, but which of these match criteria at ? The bar for notability of academics is pretty high, simply being published isn't enough, neither is work as a professor. The festscritft is a possibility I suppose, although my experience with them is that they are generally a kind of vanity publication, an honorific from close associates and friends
