The subject of this article is quoted frequently but isn't given significant coverage in reliable sources. The focus of articles that mention the subject tend to be Microsoft Encarta, leading to a conclusion of semi-notability for one event to the (limited) extent that he could be demonstrated to be notable at all.

Keep. Not being a geographer, I cannot evaluate his achievements. But I can say that the AAG is a major geographical organization of a nation that's of some academic importance; if the AAG chooses to profile Edwards among just twenty-odd people, this suggests to me that he has some significance. However, the article does need work. Morenoodles (talk) 06:27, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As of Feb, 2011, I recommend deleting this article in favor of its replacement, Kate Edwards (geographer). As a transgender individual Tom became Kate as of 2010.
