Herbert McLean Evans[edit]
The article substub reads as follows: "Herbert McLean Evans (1882 - 1971) was a U.S. anatomist and embryologist." End of article. 535 hits on google. [1] Again, is this worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia? What are the deciding factors? GRider\talk 19:54, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, and expand. I get 1000 hits on Google with "Herbert McLean Evans". Published notable professor. He was the first person to discover that Human Growth Hormone is produced from the pituitary gland, and he co-discovered Vitamin E with Katharine Scott Bishop. Megan1967 06:16, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. Apart from the achievements identified by Megan1967, he also identified the number of chromosomes for humans and developed the Evans blue dye whi has been the main way to identify blood volume for over 80 years. See this brief bio for confirmation. [2] I hope to do this myself when I have a bit more time. Capitalistroadster 09:54, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
