Mj0514dr and 198.88.216.101 appear to be the same person. Ditto Nola394 (timestamps, style of edits). Tedickey (talk) 13:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs to be more clear on why it is notable[edit]
I made some minor improvements to better show this article's notability, but more could probably be made. I can see that this article probably is notable enough to keep, as can be seen by the two unsuccessful deletion attempts. However, at least at first glance, this article still seems like an unnotable promotional biography of an academic (and academics, even those not notable enough for their own articles, do have some impressive work). More work needs to be done to show how Rodriguez is notable enough to have his own article, IMHO (such as by clarifying in the intro, etc.). --1990'sguy (talk) 21:47, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
