The notability of Brian Wilson (systems)

Brian Wilson wrote at least two important publications in the field of systems science:

Wilson, B. (2001) Soft Systems Methodology, Conceptual Modelling and its Contribution, Wiley, ISBN 0-471-89489-3
Wilson, B. (1980, 1990) Systems: Concepts Methodologies and Applications (2Ed), Wiley,

This should be reason enough to skipp the speedy deletion session. From the Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems welcome all articles about contemporary systems sciencist. I cann't immediately say that Brian Wikson is notable, but I at least would give this article a try. - Mdd 21:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lifespan

Born in 1933, one thinks to check for an obit. The name is common. I found a synopsis from Facebook that an obit for this name was published in the Lancashire Evening Post. As I've never taken the "I agree" plunge with any Facebook property, I was unable to dig further, and Google cache did not supply a publication date. — MaxEnt 01:30, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
