Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marc Edwards (civil engineering professor)
Clearly meets  notability guideline—Edwards holds a named chair at Virginia Tech, one of the nation's premier technical institutions. http://www.vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2004/08/2004-368.html That meets criterion 5 of PROF, so that's more or less an instant "in".  Plus, the information about the controversy suggests that there's sufficient reliable, independent sources to write an article about the subject. The article may have  issues and badly needs a copy-edit, but neither is a deletable offense.  There ''may'' also be  concerns, but the PROF notability may counterweight that
