Nominated for speedy deletion due to non-notability[edit]

Professor Donaldson has no notability which warrants a Wikipedia page. He has no significant academic accomplishments. His sole notability is a daughter who has married into a reigning Royal family, but no individual personal notability. In addition, most sources which discuss Donaldson are non-reliable, "gossip" style blogs and minor journal materials. The page on his daughter adequately discusses her background, and there is no further notability required.

Come on, this is ridiculous! He is the father of the future Queen of Denmark! Even the sister of Kate Middleton, Pippa Middleton, has her own page! Seems to be a case of Wikipedia:bureaucracy here? Why not making more fuss about all those Pokémon characters which have their own pages too. Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 17:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the fact that he has had a Danish royal order conferred upon him makes him notable. -- Chuq (talk) 02:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms[edit]

I'd like to see his coat of arms on this page, mainly out of curiosity. Googling and comparing with the description of his and his daughter's gave me this: http://www.heraldryaustralia.org/images/denmark_john_donaldson.jpg ... but I have no idea how to put it up. 89.159.222.104 (talk) 11:39, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

Can't we get a better photo of him? - 118.210.17.238 (talk) 12:52, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Professor?[edit]

Has Donaldson been a "professor"? Short research visits that may carry the title "visiting professor" do not qualify as really being a professor. More data about the KAIST appointment? Short-term visiting position, or a long-term "permanent" or tenured position? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.92.110.254 (talk) 11:06, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
