Notability

Adams is a noted Indo-European comparativist, expert on Tocharian and conversant in several modern languages. Beyond that, there is little biographical information available online. I will try e-mailing U. Idaho or U. Texas to see if they can provide any background info, and I will try to expand the list of works with full facts of publication & ISBN numbers. --Jpbrenna 23:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see he is the author of a particularly notable scholarly work... good enough for me as concerns notability. Thanks! Sandstein 04:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This bibliography can be expanded as the EIEC itself is a major work.--Nepaheshgar (talk) 04:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
