Notability problem. With all due respect to the late Edward Matchett, this article does not meet our notability criteria. The stub makes no assertion of sufficient notability and it lacks any supporting citations or reliable sources. Existing content does not suggest notability either, I'm afraid.

Delete: This may even qualify under Speedy deletion under A7. -Brougham96 (talk) 19:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

::(Yes, I agree. But it was my first day with using WP:TW and engineering is not my field, so I erred on the side of caution. Sorry. HG | Talk 02:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC))

Delete. Does not appear to pass either WP:BIO or WP:PROF. After reading his detailed bio at a somebody's personal aol website[http://members.aol.com/johndkirby/TedSite/biog.htm] I did not see much there that may indicate possible notability. Very little in GoogleBooks and GoogleScholar. The book mentioned in the article, "Journeys of nothing in the land of everything" is held only by a very small number of libraries in the U.S.[http://www.worldcat.org/wcpa/oclc/2647104]. GoogleNews returns a few hits[http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22Edward+Matchett%22] but on closer inspection they all appear to be false positives.
