I have searched on google.com but I have found no evidence supporting the bold claim that Owen is one of the "founding fathers" of Game Theory. I will let the article rest for a day and if there is no evidence to bolster that claim, I will VfD b/c otherwise Owen is not notable. There are many university professors out there, many more notable, but Wikipedia is not an academic repository for all professors. I will attempt to message the author of the article. EDIT: no can do...the author has listed Owen in List of mathematicians and List of Colombians already, making me suspect vanity -- Bubbachuck 05:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Claiming tha Google is the only source of evidence is also false (especially for scientific work). The fact that Owen is considered a founding father of game theory is not my claim: The short Owen's biography that appeared in Wikipedia was also published in
Theory and Decision Publisher: Springer Science+Business Media B.V., Formerly Kluwer Academic Publishers B.V. ISSN: 0040-5833 (Paper) 1573-7187 (Online) DOI: 10.1007/s11238-004-5630-x Issue: Volume 56, Numbers 1-2 Date: February 2004
Contemporary mathematicians in evolutionary game theory like Josef Hofbauer, University of Vienna, Austria and Ken Binmore, University College London, United Kingdom might give a better answer to this. Perhaps it is better to ask the editorial board of Theory and Decision why they wrote that in the foreword of such issue.
The author.
Please accept my apologies. I did not want to sound rude or something. Also, I apologize for my ignorance: I have realized this biography is copyrighted (copyright laws in my country are not as sharp as in the U.S.). I am truly sorry. I would like to remove the original piece and write it again with my own words but on the web site there is a notice saying "Please do not edit this page for the moment". What should I do?
Thank you very much.
P.S. Perhaps you are right. This is the only biography of Dr. Owen in which I found he is a "founding father". If I can not come como across another reference that states the same, I will avoid such words and write only the facts.
