Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Somos
I'm not sure that getting something named for him should be the criterion; not everything gets named after someone who actually had anything to do with inventing it. But if the person did invent something which is mentioned in a secondary source it seems to me that that would qualify as "significant impact" to satisfy . I would be happier there were more secondary sources other than MathWorld cited though. I do have an issue with the lack of biographical material in the article however. No date and place of birth, nothing about where he got his degree, etc. To me, notable subject or not, you should at least have some basic facts before creating an article, otherwise you might as well just put the name on the requested articles list. But presumably that info can be found and added to the article so it's a fixable issue and shouldn't be deleted for that reason
