Mr Moshier is sole author of seven patents: what more would be needed to make him a notable inventor?

More importantly, Mr Moshier is sole author of a major component of a major public domain numerical computing library. This creates significant, long lasting interest in who he is. That he has not had a shiny academic career may come as a surprise to those who look him up - which rather increases the interest of having an article about him. -- Nsda (talk) 08:10, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Half a million patents are filed annually. Are all of these authors notable? Natureium (talk) 13:41, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How many patents by sole authors? How many of them have authored 7 or more? But I am not insisting on this. Moshier is notable for his contributions to numeric computing. -- Nsda (talk) 16:00, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is insufficient independent reliable sources about the subject to establish that the subject of this biography meets the WP:BIO criteria "received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The fact that this individual holds seven patents doesn't do much on its own to establish notability. As an example, my brother in law who works as a researcher in a technology firm holds 26 patents, but there is nothing that distinguishes him from his colleagues or others in his line of work.
