Does this subject meet the guideline of Wikipedia:Notability (academics)? If so, the article needs to assert that fact to avoid speedy deletion. - Crockspot 02:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC) reply

I did read the criteria very carefully before creating this article. This article provides additional information regarding the researcher who is mentioned on the QCA (Quantum Cellular Automata) page.

I humbly submit to the administrator's decision on this, but would request more clarity (perhaps some examples?)in the documentaion for criteria 7 for articles (unremarkable...). Certainly "remarkableness" is a subjective term and is a quality that spans a wide spectrum. For instance, I would have liked to see a Wikipedia article on Craig Lent, also mentioned in the QCA article.

Thanks for the link Crockspot... will respond Buttlumpy 02:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Dr. Tougaw should have an article. He is a significant expert in the field of Electrical Engineering, especially QCA. He has published significant articles, having won multiple awards. More importantly, Dr. Tougaw is a key researcher in the field of QCA. Furthermore, he blows the "better than average professor" standard away with his listed accomplishments. This article needs more details, but should definitely stay. ( Queenorych 13:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)) reply

I found a few things that may help to assert notability in this article. The first three are news releases, the last three are other things that Tougaw has published. - Crockspot 03:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC) reply
