This article has tags for improved sources. This means third party articles or books that reference Dr. Whittle and his work. While the article claims he is an artist and explorer it offers no evidence to support that. Likewise the scientific and educational contributions are supported only by a list of the subject's own works. Unfortunately I cannot find any online evidence of the May 5, 1992 Boston Globe article. A search of the Globe's online archives produces no results for Whittle paleontologist or Whittle gastrolith or Whittle sauropod from 1981 to now. Joja lozzo 16:32, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
If the Gastrolith article is the only appropriate area where a reference to DR. Whittle is merited, then the orphan tag seems appropriate. I added a link from Nedcolbertia Joja lozzo 16:32, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
The subject of this article and editors who have a personal relationship with him need to keep their contributions to a minimum to avoid bias. Joja lozzo 16:32, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
In the absence of significant independent coverage or documentation of Whittle or his work, a redirect to his claim to fame seems in order. For those who measure notability by accomplishment and not the gng, consider the following. As with so many autobiographies, the subject's claim to fame should be taken with a lump of salt. From the journal articles cited in the Spanish Wikipedia [1], it appears that a team, not an individual, discovered this genus--and Whittle was not even on it. Whittle did later describe and name the genus--but only as part of a team. 160.39.212.104 ( talk) 12:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Since no one has been able to find any mention of the subject in anything except his own academic journal articles, some editors here question whether we should keep this article. There was once a mention of a Boston Globe article of 5/5/92, pp B3-B4, but the online Globe archives do not have that section. Joja lozzo 01:35, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Ok. I guess it stays, CV-ish and all. Joja lozzo 02:40, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Whittle's notability is determined by publication in peer-reviewed journals. He is not the topic of a even a subsection of another article. Redirect makes no sense. Please do not respond here as if I have not said this before. Joja lozzo 13:27, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
