 * Keep I think this page was hastily flagged. As seen by the new citations added, this scholar has written a long list of well-cited publications and has served on the editorial board of several top-tier academic journals.LingLass (talk) 05:35, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as per WP:PROFESSOR "1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." Sources in the article demonstrate that Abbot's work has had exactly this kind of impact.  Note also that this article is one of a series by an editor who has made a generous contribution to WP by writing a series of intelligent and well-supported articles on linguists and linguists.  And remember, please, always to ask: WP:DDH.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:45, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. We don't have a lot of indicia of notability but I think the citation counts on Google scholar (170, 162, 122, 100, etc) are above threshold for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:13, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
