I believe that this fails WP:SCHOLAR.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am uncertain why you believe that it fails. I believe that it meets several of the criteria: no. 1--Turner has made a very significant impact in his discipline; no. 4--because he is interdisciplinary he has made a significant impact in sociology, social science, and philosophy of science; no. 5--he holds the title of "Distinguished University Professor" and no. 8--he has been on the editorial boards of a dozen of the leading journals in the field for a decade or more.

I am also unclear why this entry is rated as "Start"--what more information is wanted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6036:A:615D:D317:B66:924E (talk) 18:34, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
