no real assertion of notability, seems to be a non-notable crackpot. — Swpb 01:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Of the three pages you link to, the first essentially merely refers to Galambos, rather than referencing his work in support of the author's arguement; the third is a book review, and the second, Galambos' eulogy, reads, I quote, "he never wrote a book or appeared on national radio or TV. His renown will be limited mostly to those who came in personal contact with him." Not exactly a strong endorsement for inclusion. — Swpb 04:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
entry in Language Log. His ideas get noticed and mentioned, and I'd say that constitutes valid claim to notability. There's more than one source for what's in the article, so what's the issue? We don't need thousands. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 04:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
The personal websites of people who themselves have no assertion of notability do not constitute "non-trivial published works" as required by WP:BIO. — Swpb 05:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
