This article says nothing about what this person's contributions to any of the categories to which he belongs may be. It consists merely of a statement of the person's cv. Needs major work. Further reading link did not lead to any further reading about this person, but rather to a general article about Reference, in which the same bibliographic note that is already on the page is repeated.

Agreed. I did find some references in this article on SEP [1] that could be worked in. BrideOfKripkenstein (talk) 03:08, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

His article "Reference and definite descriptions" is a classic of the philosophy of language, and this is he is known after. His short biography by Kent Johnson is included in the Dictionary of American Philosophers, Tommes Press 2004. I have no copy of it but it can be found here (pdf). I think he definitely deserves an article. Andres (talk) 03:42, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
