Article was created in July 2010 and has not been edited significantly since then. Has been tagged for notability since July 2010, and nothing has since been added to indicate notability. After 4 years, it's time to make a decision. Emeraude (talk) 09:54, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Have added a ref which says he was the founding editor of the Journal of Fusion Energy and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. These both might be enough to allow a pass of WP:Prof. (Msrasnw (talk) 14:51, 21 May 2014 (UTC))[reply]
Keep. Sources in and outside the article make clear that he made significant contributions to U.S. nuclear power policy, so I think he passes WP:PROF#C7. He also passes #C3 by virtue of the AAAS fellowship, and possibly #C8 as journal editor. I added a major (but local) newspaper obituary and a few other sources to the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:00, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination withdrawn. Edits by previous two writers have sufficiently established notability. Emeraude (talk) 18:05, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
