Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William T. Kane
In addition to the reasons given by the nominator, the article contains numerous dubious references and some dubious claims, raising significant  issues. For example, for the subject's 1966 PhD from the University of Missouri the article gives two refs. The first, occuring in the leade, is a broken link to https://celebstrendingnow.com/william-kane-net-worth/ celebstrendingnow.com/william-kane-net-worth/. The other ref, occuring in the 'Patents' section is this https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/sn86033359/2008-08-01/ed-1/seq-6/, which is a link to an August 2008 story in a local Lake Placid newspaper regarding a town-wide bike ride event. The 'Education and Career' section opens with: "He attended the university of Colorado in Boulder where he studied Geology, publishing in 1949 a paper on Sediment Size Analysis which calculated textual parameters using Fortran". The second part of this sentence is both nonsensical and implausible. The programming language Fortran did not exist until 1954 at the earliest and there were certanly no papers published in 1949 about programming something in Fortran. The ref given to support this claim https://books.google.com/books?id=QUVSAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA627&lpg=PA627&dq=kane+william+t.+crystallography&source=bl&ots=k7fAUBOz_9&sig=ACfU3U2FANtYU_x9n56F88aeB97kgtOLhw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjt0L2_6J7oAhXSknIEHbilCqEQ6AEwA3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=kane%20william%20t.%20crystallography&f=false is garbled and unclear. All in all, too little here to indicate notability under , and there are some  issues as well
