I don't understand your objection. Every person having a touch with multivariate statistics knows Lawley's name. He was one of the key persons in development of IQ tests, factor analysis, and structural equations model. If Lawley is not fit enough for Wikipedia, shouldn't we erase also article on Harold Hotelling, who only rediscovered some of Lawley's results? Gyjak (talk) 20:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't decline Lawley, I declined your draft. If you want it to be accepted, you should make sure it meets the requirements above (WP:NACADEMIC); regardless of which criterion you pick, you'll need to substantiate it with citations to reliable sources. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:04, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
