this list only for "contributing the world of engineering"? 911 and civil engineering, this is not an accident - there is a link between it. Every civil engineer knows how long a fire can burn before a building collapse - but I was not prepared and shocked that someone used this knowledge against the people in that dimension. There is a need for more selfcritical view about critical infrastructure. His name on this list would stress this. Sorry to haven't wrote this explaination directly.

In the case of names like "MacAdam", we should continue to file under "m" - this is the English Knowledge, not the Gaelic Knowledge, and the "Mac-" is an integral part of the last name. Similarly with "LeMay" and "LeMessurier" - the name is "LeMay", not "le May". However, in cases like "de Lesseps"

I had put him on the list, because I think for understanding the tradgedy of 911 it makes sence to know bin ladens profession and it would remind that every knowledge is possible to use for good and bad thinks. The list is not for good guys only, bad people should be listed as well. Why should be

I would keep him in the list. He completed his civil engineering degree, but his life took a different direction (as it did for several others also listed who became better known in other unrelated fields - see previous discussion re Osama Bin Laden, for example). Also the list criteria includes
399:
He should be in the list as he IS a civil engineer. But should he be under 'B' or 'L'? AFAIK 'bin/ben' means 'son of' and 'Laden' could be considered as his last name. Anyway.... a similar argument holds for 'Curtis LeMay' and 'William LeMessurier' (should be under 'M'), 'Ferdinand de Lesseps'
494:
in Knowledge needs to be limited by some criterion. It appears that most of the people listed have their own WP article, so I've formalized that a little, by mentioning that in the intro to the article. I'll be cleaning out red-links (people without articles) in a little while.

John Bradfield did not 'design' the Sydney Harbour Bridge... It was based upon a bridge designed by W G Laws and built in Wylam (opened in 1876). And even then the Wylam railway bridge design was adapted by British firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough not Bradfield.
369:
As a college student, he studied business and project administration. He also earned a degree in civil engineering from King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah in 1979, possibly as preparation for taking over parts of his father's extensive construction and civil engineering
339:
Is it really necessary to add that bin laden character to the list of famous engineers? Although he may or may not have an engineering license, he isn't famous for contributing to the world of engineering.
462:
I made my edit adding Bin Ladens listing. I believe that considering Osama studied and practiced Civil Engineering it is factually correct and encyclopedic to list him. WE can not deny the truth.
43: 437:
I believe that considering Bin Laden studied civil engineering and worked as one that he belongs in the list and I will put him back. He was lured to Sudan in 1991 by

I vote to put him back - it is of general interest that he is a civil engineer, in the same way that the fact that Slobodan Milosovic is a psychiatrist is interesting.

It looks like the concensus is to put him back - are there any objections?
