I do not believe this article establishes its subject's notability. At present its only important assertion of notability is that the subject was a mentor of Adam Sedgwick. Although a "professor with a particularly well-known student may be notable for this reason alone", they must be the primary influence on said student (videWP:PROF). It seems this is not the case, and that Sedgwick was influenced significantly by at least one other – John Dawson (surgeon). If notability cannot be established within a week or so, I intend to submit this article, along with John Cranke and Dawson, to AFD.--cj | talk 01:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Cyberjunkie, Notice that this guy's notability as a priest is probably higher than his activities as a mathematician. The guy obviously made an impact at his time, both as a priest & mathematician, as he has a bust erected at Trinity College and futhermore he made it into the Dictionary of National Biography. I am rather busy and need more time than just a week to tease out more notable details of his life. This week time limit does no allow the collaborative nature of wikipedia to work its magic.

Hi again Bunzil. Thank you for being so respectful; I realise that I am probably being a pain about this. However, I really can't see that Jones is notable; of course, that doesn't mean he isn't, but the article doesn't make a case either. I'll retract the week time limit, but I hope to see some improvement soon. If there isn't after a reasonable period, I'll look towards AFD again. Thanks,--cj | talk 12:30, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Cyberjunkie, I have just been reading about the history of Trinity College and it seems that you have to be pretty notable to have a bust erected there! This guy obviously made an impact otherwise they wouldn't go to the trouble of making a statue of him :-) Also to get into the Dictionary of National Biography is notable.

He's in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Common guys, what more do you want? I've added a reference. 192.43.227.18 05:38, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
