Non-notable pair of scientist twin-brothers. Even if the claim to be "the first twin couples to meet through the Internet" is true (it is not substantiated by the references), I doubt that that would be a sufficient claim to notability. The references given are the faculty pages of the two brothers, a newspaper item with an in-passing mention, and an item on an online site on twins (also in-passing mention). Does not meet WP:NBIO. As scientists, they also do not pass WP:PROF: both are assistant professors (who rarely meet our notability requirements) and the impact of their research for the moment is modest (Web of Science: for GM: 26 articles, h=9, total citations=329; for GJ: 18 articles, h=6, total citations=139).

• Delete This looks like a classic WP:BLP1E type of article, with little notability outside of the twin couples news bit. Or more like 4BLP1E. But the point is the same. Sailsbystars (talk) 20:38, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

:So where would you put the BLP1E article if not under this title? --Bejnar (talk) 20:56, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

• Delete. Assistant professors, neither of whom are individually notable under WP:PROF. Their career and personal life similarities are interesting trivia, but not notable per se, as the article suggests. Agricola44 (talk) 15:00, 22 October 2012 (UTC).
• Delete. The twins marrying twins thing is essentially a single story, repeated in several newspapers; I don't think it rises to the level of notability. And there doesn't seem to be evidence of passing WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:38, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
