editT. F. Mitchell was a scholar on Arabic phonology, student of J. R. Firth (the guy behind the London linguistic school). I have to admit I'm not directly familiar with his work, I've stumbled upon his name in a book, and since I was curious to find out more about him, I searched Wikipedia. The only place I could find him was the article on Firth (Mitchell had no article himself), so I added a stub with a link to his obituary that summarizes his background and biography. People more acquainted with the London School will surely fill up the details. -- Sandius (talk) 19:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

edit
In my opinion, this article either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for Academics, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.
Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable sources in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.
Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, perhaps User:Sandius (talk · contribs), or other recent contributors to this article, will make some constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.
Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.
To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings ... I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case. — 141.156.175.125 (talk) 01:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
