Talk:List of chemical engineers

message: I don't like the way this page looks.  Anyone object to making it a standard bulleted list?  Or the name/known for/affiliation table is pretty nice; is there any way to use CSS or XML to make adding entries easy so noobs like me don't have to wrestle with too much markup code like | || etc?  BTW, http://sdcc13.ucsd.edu/~aiche/xceleb.html says that Dolph Lundgren has a masters.
: Agree it could look better but I'm not sure what to do yet. I'm trying to find more ChE's who have contributed a good bit of research to the field. Honestly, it is somewhat difficult as a lot of research, etc. isn't put up in front of the public's eye as much as research in other fields. Who would really want to read about a new way to perform gasification of coal other than someone in that area of research - Reflux 09:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with this statement. Studing ChE for one semester doesn't make you a Chemical Engineer. I think people who made discoveries related to Chemical Engineer should be on the list though as your degree does not always dictate the work you will be studying/researching. Enviornmental, Chemical, and Petrleum engineering are closely related in their core ideas. Each one then has their own, specific and different area of study but could work in a ChE job position or do research that would directly benefit the chemical engineering field. 24.249.147.3 23:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Perhaps they should be moved to something like a "Trivia" section at the bottom of the page?--GregRM 02:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree 100% that they should not be considered ChE24.249.147.3 23:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I started a trivia header to fix the issue. --Sadi Carnot 13:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I think Perl and Steinberger can be dropped. 64.91.216.14 (talk) 23:08, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

text: I concur with the previous post. Both Perl and Steinberger are physicists and won Nobel prizes in that category. Their connection to chemical engineering is rather remote, so I am removing them from the list of notable chemical engineers.ChemE50 (talk) 23:17, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

message: FYP is a prominent ChE who has been working in the field for 15 years.  He received his Master's degree in Canada, is a prominent member of AIChE, and has been forwarding the field medicine and spearheading new chemical research within Ontario.  There seems to be some sort of bias in not including him upon this rather short and dubious list; he's clearly not Cindy Crawford.

:In the remote chance that you are serious, create an article about the person you call FYP (with references by others to the value of his/her work).  Linking it to the acronym disambiguation page FYP is not helpful.  See Wikipedia:Notability (academics) to see if this person passes the 'professor test'.  Your description could apply to thousands of worthwhile academics who are not in Wikipedia. Chemical Engineer (talk) 16:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: FYP

message: In my opinion, the criteria for inclusion on or exclusion from this list are unclear. I think many of the comments above support this. It seems to me that some written guidance would be very helpful. Ideally, this list should contain people who have demonstrated skills, knowledge and abilities in the field of chemical engineering. The sentence above the actual list reads, “This is a list of notable chemical engineers, people who studied or practiced chemical engineering.” As of 25 August 2009, the list includes several people who may have enrolled in a chemical engineering program but have either become notable in an unrelated career or have not practiced chemical engineering to any significant degree. A far larger number of individuals who influenced the work of later engineers are not mentioned.ChemE50 (talk) 14:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Criteria for listing

message: In my opinion, the following individuals deserve to be included in this list.ChemE50 (talk) 02:10, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but the way to do it is to create a page for the individual first, which has references.  The above may be true, but they are unsubstantiated until you have the page to refer to. Chemical Engineer (talk) 17:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed additions

message: I propose removing the following people from the list of notable chemical engineers, but first I'd like to hear the opinions of other viewers.ChemE50 (talk) 14:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You could put them at the bottom of the page as is done with List of chemists.  Von Neumann qualified in chemical engineering at ETH Zurich.Chemical Engineer (talk) 14:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your input. I like the idea of separately listing those who became notable for work in other fields. Also, I didn't know that von Neumann had actually studied chemical engineering.ChemE50 (talk) 15:53, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed deletions

message: Suggestions and bios should not be put in the list.  If the person is notable, create a wiki article.  If there is a wiki article, by all means add them.Chemical Engineer (talk) 16:55, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't add to list 

message: Some other lists demand a separate reference for each entry which establishes that the individual is a bona fide member of the category.  My view is that we do not need this if the Wikipedia article gives a reference that confirms status as a chemical engineer.Chemical Engineer (talk) 15:17, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: The idea of a list of chemical engineers in fiction is great!
* Reign of Fire is a 2002 film where a chemical engineer is cited by one of main character but I do not know the name.
* There is a French film where the main character is a chemical engineer maybe someone has watched this film.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.54.247.58 (talk) 19:47, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Fictional chemical engineers

message: Saying someone currently has a position will obviously be wrong sooner or later.  An encyclopedia should look to the long term, and it is best to write it that way in the beginning.  Presumably the fact that they held the position at some time is sufficient. Chemical Engineer (talk) 10:23, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
