Notability tag[edit]

I don't know what level of notability it takes, but Google shows 13,400 for "Keith Lofstrom" and they must all be to him.

The reason I put in a stub page is that his name was listed in red. Lofstrom is the sole inventor of the launch loop and has recently contributed to a space elevator design.

Added detail and took off the notability tag. Keith Henson (talk) 18:40, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've reinserted it. WP:BIO is a good starting point: basically we need evidence that Lofstrom has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of him. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This good enough?

Possibly not. I've put in a spam whitelist request, since examiner.com is thought to have some RS issues. Yakushima (talk) 13:44, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
