Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Dunning-Davies
I am not among those who would anathematise fringe science and those who graze within its realms from the pages of Wikipedia in the interests of ideological purity. The topic of fringe science has fascinating psychological and sociological features. The subject of the article is most unusual in having contributed both to conventional mainstream science and to journals on its fringes. In WoS I find 56 papers in reputable journals-Nature, Physical Review, American Journal of Physics etc. (in 1998 he changed his name from Denningdavies to Denning-Davies and that has confused some of the editors here: both have to be searched for). Citations are not substantial so rof notability must be borderline. In his publication list on his web site he gives 130 publications, 16 are in electrical engineering journals (not covered by WoS), 9 on education issues and 4 books. The balance over these is in fringe journals and the physics ArXiv (which contains mainstream and some fringe papers). In GS there are 271 hits for "J Dunning-Davies" and in Google News 1,890. Clearly many of these may be eliminated on further examination but that still leaves some to give . In view of his non-conventional research activities it is not surprising that he was not promoted above associate professor level but these activities may give  notability
