Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sinclair Mayne
The award, presidency of BSAS and overall research output add up to meet  criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed), or very close, even if we were to argue criteria 2 and 6 are not met. I think this http://news.google.com/archivesearch?pz=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22Sinclair+Mayne%22&cf=all Google News search is telling, and indicates notability, even though this http://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_sauthors=%22Sinclair+Mayne%22 Google Scholar search suggests that his citation impact is relatively low. I say “relatively” because the subject is known in a very specialized and applied area, which may not be very dense in terms of citations
