Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Howard Press (2nd nomination)
per the lack of |reliable sources. The article contains many sources, including http://www.nytimes.com/1993/08/05/obituaries/hans-lowey-86-developer-of-pills-with-slow-action.html this article from ''The New York Times'', but the majority of them (including the ''NYT'' article) don't even mention Howard Press.The article is primarily composed of |original research. If any parts of the article were useful, I would recommend a merge to sustained release per Cyclopia, but the lack of sources that discuss Howard Press being the "the first to develop a process for time release or sustained release medication" means that this assertion is original research. The rest of the sources and assertions in the article also violate Wikipedia:Synthesis and Wikipedia:Original research. Original research does not belong on Wikipedia, so this should be deleted. Incubation would be helpful if this article could be improved, but due to the lack of sources, I strongly doubt that this is possible.Howard Press fails  and  because there are no sources that would allow him to pass , and there are no sources that |verify the claim that his patent contributed much to his academic field. If he did indeed contribute much to his field, I would expect some sources on Google Scholar; however, there are http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&source=hp&q=%22Howard%20Press%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ws none.My own searches for sources on Google News Archive (http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&cf=all&q=%22Howard+Press%22+%22New+York%22&cf=all 1, http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Howard+Press%22+patent&btnG=Search&um=1&scoring=a 2, and http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Howard+Press%22+%22sustained+release%22&btnG=Search&um=1&scoring=a 3) and Google Books (http://books.google.com/books?um=1&q=%22Howard%20Press%22%20%22New%20York%22&cf=all&sa=N&hl=en&tab=np 1, http://books.google.com/books?q=%22Howard%20Press%22%20patent&um=1&sa=N&hl=en&tab=np 2, and http://books.google.com/books?q=%22Howard%20Press%22%20%22sustained%20release%22&um=1&sa=N&hl=en&tab=np 3) return no valid sources that could be used to construct a biography, so I conclude that Howard Press is non-notable
