Untitled[edit]

The New Zealand government is about to honor Dr Tinsley, and asked the University to contribute an article on him. I have been asked to submit this article by the University and am using various university materials to do so.

Notability?[edit]

Is this scientist notable enough to have their own page? I don't see the honor by the New Zealand Government mentioned in the article. --KarenAplin (talk) 22:10, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
