Is it really necessary to add that bin laden character to the list of famous engineers? Although he may or may not have an engineering license, he isn't famous for contributing to the world of engineering.
I vote to remove him from the list.
Its a fact that he is a civil engineer. We can't change that, nor ignore it. Ark30inf 00:57, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)
It looks like the concensus is to put him back - are there any objections? 2toise 11:56, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)
He should be in the list as he IS a civil engineer. But should he be under 'B' or 'L'? AFAIK 'bin/ben' means 'son of' and 'Laden' could be considered as his last name. Anyway.... a similar argument holds for 'Curtis LeMay' and 'William LeMessurier' (should be under 'M'), 'Ferdinand de Lesseps' should be (and is) under 'L'. Not to mention the 'Mac..'s as 'John MacAdam' (should be under 'A'). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.236.117.2 ( talk • contribs) 07:41, 26 August 2004 (UTC)
I believe that considering Bin Laden studied civil engineering and worked as one that he belongs in the list and I will put him back. He was lured to Sudan in 1991 by
Hassan al-Turabi who wished to take advantage of Bin Laden's skills. In Sudan Bin Laden built roads and infrastructure. The article isn't titled list of good hearted civil engineers.

I made my edit adding Bin Ladens listing. I believe that considering Osama studied and practiced Civil Engineering it is factually correct and encyclopedic to list him. WE can not deny the truth.

The state of California has issued well over 60,000 Civil Engineering licenses, so obviously, a List of civil engineers in Wikipedia needs to be limited by some criterion. It appears that most of the people listed have their own WP article, so I've formalized that a little, by mentioning that in the intro to the article. I'll be cleaning out red-links (people without articles) in a little while. Argyriou 19:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
John Bradfield did not 'design' the Sydney Harbour Bridge... It was based upon a bridge designed by W G Laws and built in Wylam (opened in 1876). And even then the Wylam railway bridge design was adapted by British firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough not Bradfield. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.23.117.197 ( talk) 12:37, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
According to his Wikipedia page, he studied engineering but never practiced it. I think his name should be removed from the list. -- HananCohen ( talk) 14:16, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
I think we should put Robert E Lee on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.88.28 ( talk) 01:44, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
