Untitled

This article was marked for speedy deletion, but I do not understand why. This is a man that is a major personality in cryonics. The article has clear encyclopedic value. (Cardsplayer4life 00:29, 20 February 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Dr. Fahy is one of the foremost cryobiologists in the world, and therein lies his greatest significance. His work on vitrification has transformed cryobiology and will continue to do so. His advances in organ cryopreservation are unmatched by anyone else in the world. The references to cryonics were exaggerated, and I have deleted most of them. They would not be appreciated by Dr. Fahy. He has no connection to the Cryonics Society of Canada or the Cryonics Institute, in particular. Alcor Life Extension Foundation uses Dr. Fahy's cryoprotectants, and all of cryonics has benefitted from the pioneering vitrification research that Dr. Fahy has done. Dr. Fahy is noteworthy, and is likely to become increasingly so. Definitely this will be the case if his research allows for long-term storage of kidneys and other transplantable organs. --Ben Best 01:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Speedy Candidate

Greg Fahy has been included in the Wikipedia article on cryonics since early 2004. Why wouldn't we want an article about the man if he's important enough to be included in that article. Seems like the gun was jumped in marking this CSD.

I have edited the article and believe that I have shown more clearly why Dr. Fahy is such a prominent scientist. If his research continues at its present pace he could transform the organ transplantation industry within five years. I am removing the proposal for deletion.--Ben Best 01:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It appeared to me before like a vanity article. I applied the Google test and didn't get anything that really stood out and therefore presumed it really was one. Now that you have enlightened me, I am convinced the article has potential encyclopedic significance. joturner 02:52, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
