Gary Scavone

Professor that fails the professor test. Radiant! 12:41, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, he co-authored the Synthesis Toolkit. Kappa 13:37, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Synthesis Toolkit seems notable enough and we have an article on Perry R. Cook the other inventor. Capitalistroadster 14:39, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok, but is there anything else of interest about Gary, or should we simply merge & redirect to the STK? Radiant! 15:13, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep — I added a link to his home page, which includes his resume. He appears well published. — RJH 17:40, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Most of those publications are conference proceedings, not books, chapters or journal articles. For now I say merge--nixie 06:36, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Synthesis Toolkit. Megan1967 05:27, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I think professors with a reasonable number of publications are notable and should be kept. This one, however, is an assistant professor that actually has published very little, as far as I can see. His PhD seems to be unpublished. There's only one book chapter, and one co-authored article in a peer reviewed publication. Some 20 conference presentations is not enough in itself either. For the time being, it seems that Synthesis Toolkit is his only claim to notability, which makes me go for merge and redirect - unless someone proves to me that STK is extremely notable in itself. / Alarm 17:44, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
