Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John E.S. Lawrence
I contested this speedy as A7 only applies to an article that "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant".  The article says he's an adjunct professor, one of the http://www.ctr.columbia.edu/dvmm/tedc/tedc03/ links in the article clearly states that he has over 100 publications and by reading the talk page and going to one of the articles mentioned it would appear that the Lawrence Peaks were named after him.  To me this is more than enough to not be speedied as to survive a speedy there only has to be indications why they may be notable - it does not have to be proved.  At the time I thought it unlikely that the article would survive  (unless removed by author) or fD but thought it deserved longer consideration in case I'd missed something
