This page should not be speedily deleted because he clearly meets WP:ACADEMIC criterion #3 since he is a member of the Royal Society of Canada. Perhaps the nominator should actually read the criteria? Bueller 007 (talk) 15:04, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I do find it so friendly when someone asks that another person actually read something. I have removed the speedy deletion tags. My apologies. Now I ask that the article creator "actually read" what constitutes a reliable independent source, and include sources in this and his other articles that are more reliable and meaningful than Google Scholar hits and links to university web pages. Being elected to an organization like the Royal Society of Canada is not a shoe-in for being considered notable on Wikipedia, it is an indicator of likely notability which must still be proven through the inclusion of multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources that discuss the subject non-trivially. This article and the others recently created by this editor still lack those things, and the articles might still be deleted on those grounds. If they'd had those things to begin with, I would never have nominated them for speedy deletion. KDS4444Talk 17:55, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
