Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Thayer
I admit I know little about his field, but some fishing around suggests he's rather important in it http://yahoo.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2003/tc2003049_1721_tc024.htm, http://www.postgazette.com/healthscience/20030531minerbotsci3p3.asp, http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:Aly6CldvDGcJ:www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/103-05302003-98920.html+%22Scott+Thayer%22+robotics&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=10 etc. Plenty of verifiable information to add to the article if anyone is interested. Meets my (admittedly liberal) interpretation of  under "professionals whose work is widely recognized". Diverse news coverage is sufficient recognition, I see no compelling reason to delete
