seems to be not notable, google scholar gives several publications but it's not enough. other than that, I didn't find anything significant, besides obituary that is cited as source.

Delete at present, since the article does not make any claim to notability. See
Wikipedia:Notability (academics). A couple of published books is not sufficient to make an academic notable. I'm open to changing my !vote if evidence of notability is presented. --

Keep. I don't think he has the citation counts for
WP:PROF#C1, but I added enough published book reviews to convince me of a pass of
WP:AUTHOR. —

I take that back. With two papers with over 200 citations each in Google Scholar despite their early date (one from 1948 and the other from 1954) he does have a weak case for
WP:PROF#C1 as well, especially as I found other sources from much later specifically describing his contributions in one of these papers as being important. I missed the 1954 one in my earlier searches because the publisher spells his name wrong (something something irony of OCR going wrong for the OSA) so it wasn't showing up in the searches. —

Keep: Per others above. I also note the publication A Dictionary of Scientific Units, Including Dimensionless Numbers and Scales did 6 editions over 30 years, and I think it did a seventh, and is used on WP to cite stuff as its in OL! I believe FinstP may also satisfy
Wikipedia:NACADEMICS#3. An image should be available at some point due to his Fareham Mayoral duties.
