I don't know if it helps, but some while back I created pages about a couple of my old university lecturers. See Michael Proctor (botanist) and John Webster (mycologist). The former wasn't a professor, but his contributions to science are clearly notable. I didn't feel any need at the time to declare a conflict of interest as it had been 35 years before either had lectured me, and I'd not seen them since. The only contact I'd had was when I emailed one of them to say that I had just published a book on botany, having spent the previous 20 years collecting data for it, and that was down to his influence that I had spent a career in the natural sciences. I'm glad I did so, as he died a year later. Ironically, when people die, it's amazing how useful their obituaries are to us Wikipedians who were previously struggling to find sources. Your professor had better watch their back! Regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 22:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
