The subject of this article did create the original entry, but this is in response to many other academic/scientists having wikipedia entries. I can provide various names, but do not want to do this in a public forum.
I do not think that this is self publicity. The entries are all factual, and can be verified, and the cited articles are all in the scientific literature.
If the Wikipedia editors do not accept that this is a suitable entry, I am happy for it to be deleted.

I do understand the points you make and I have spent some time looking through the various sources that you highlighted (thank you for bringing those to my attention). The notability criteria is the most relevant.
With regards to the third point, that is: "The person has published a significant and well-known academic work. An academic work may be significant or well known if, for example, it is widely used as a textbook; if it is itself the subject of multiple, independent works; or if it is widely cited by other authors in the academic literature." I would suggest that (according to ISI) the paper
"Burke E.K., Kendall G. and Soubeiga E. (2003) A Tabu-Search Hyper-Heuristic for Timetabling and Rostering, Journal of Heuristics, 9(6):451-470"
which has been cited 33 times is a significant number of citations and, I would suggest, that this qualifies as a notable work.
The fourth point:
"The person's collective body of work is significant and well-known."
I also believes that this qualifies, as indicated by the list of publications, many of which have also been highly cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.186.11 (talk) 15:39, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
