Untitled[edit]

For years, there has been an attempted link to 'David Sudarsky' from the Sudarsky Extrasolar Planet Classification page on Wikipedia (which I did not start). I am simply completing that link and would be happy to provide additional information if needed?

advice[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I think there is some claim to notability, but I am not sure. The standards are at WP:PROF. The question is whether is publication record is sufficient to show him an authority. I did not check for citations yet--do it in Web of Science or Scopus. I notice from a google search the article [1] with a picture of him and the caption "David Sudarsky left a career in astrophysics to start his vegan-friendly business out of his garage in Civano." and his [thevegetariansite.com Web site]/ I doubt he's notable really at that. I do not think he was the leader of the research group, so we need a brief bio of his degrees, etc. If he was a postdoc, he is almost certainly not notable unless the work is spectacular. If you decide to withdraw the article, put {{db-author}} atthe top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 19:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
