Notability

[edit]

Geroch has an impressive number of relativistic terms named after him: the Geroch energy as one of the extant definitions of mass in general relativity, the infinite-dimensional Geroch group, and the GHP formalism. At least the first two wikipedia entries, short as they are, cite reviews of the ideas in question in articles that are reliable by WP criteria; even one would be enough for Geroch to meet criterion 5. in Wikipedia:Notability (academics). He is also notable for his successful book General Relativity from A to B. It's been in print since 1978; that plus a google search for the title, which turns up a significant number of people recommending this book, should show the book is widely read, as per Example 1 in Wikipedia:Notability (academics). That google search also turned up an example for criterion 1: [1]. For me, that's pretty conclusive, so I'm removing the notability tag from the main page.

Pronunciation

[edit]

Dear authors. You could do a great favor to the readers (to foreigners especially) if you indicate the pronunciation of the name. --217.71.236.141 (talk) 18:51, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
