Notability

Looking round the web for Edward Drobyshevski - it seems to me his work on the Tunguska event seems to have got the most notice. THe article doesn't really seem to mention this. I think Popular Mechanics referece for this is indicative of this stuff.

And his work on Giant pieces of Jupiter could kill all life on earth documented in Pravda

Nice find! However, I'm concerned that this is a fringe theory, as the paper was not peer reviewed. More than a year after the article was submitted to icarus and to astro-ph it has yet to be published.[1] While the paper could still be in referee land, a more plausible explanation is that it has been rejected. Mainstream media coverage of crackpot scientific theories does not qualify as notability. Sailsbystars (talk) 14:13, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it in this one?

Stardust findings favor not only the planetary origin of comets but the underlying close-binary cosmogony of the Solar System as well more options - Drobyshevski EM (Drobyshevski, Edward M. - ICARUS Volume: 197 Issue: 1 Pages: 203-210 Published: SEP 2008

Or is this too tangential? (Msrasnw (talk) 17:44, 24 September 2010 (UTC))[reply]

No, mosty unrelated subject about how the solar system formed with an additional massive body (also well outside the mainstream, and with that article I'm actually pretty familiar with the topic area). Before this deletion discussion I had no idea how many different areas he was outside the mainstrem in.... Sailsbystars (talk) 18:12, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
