Notability
[edit]As a new member of WikiProject Notability, I've reviewed this article and found it unnotable on the basis of the information present. I'm also unable to expand this article. The other Fairchild, Arthur Babbit, also seems not notable enough. The only important person I think is their relative Henry Pratt Fairchild. So the information from both their pages could be just moved to the latter. --Futurano 17:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- I found a listing of a textbook he wrote which is available on amazon. Not sure if that makes him notable, but since it was published 40 years ago, I thought he might be of interest at least to economists. Jvv62 16:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- more publication listings:
- an intersting bit of trivia: A complete course list for years after the freshman year is unavailable. However, he listed his most inspiring professor as William Lyon Phelps [Professor of English], and his hardest course as Financial History of the U.S., taught by F.R. Fairchild [Professor of Economics]. from [2]
- From the Preface to The Forgotten Man and Other Essays by William Graham Sumner: "In the choice of all economic essays I have been guided by the advice of my colleague, Professor F.R. Fairchild, a fellow-student under Sumner and a fellow-admirer of his character and career. " [3]
- this cite indicates that he headed what sounds like a US Forest Service task force. ingenta article abstract
Not sure if all these references amount to WP:Notability, but I do think this guy was of more than marginal interest. -- Jvv62 18:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Could a separate section in some article be enough for this economist? I mean the information shouldn't be lost at all. --Futurano 07:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
