Bob Keleher

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

has moved on from writing about her relatives to now writing about a colleague of (presumably) her relative Thomas M. Humphrey, Bob Keleher. The Forbes piece is a mere mention, the Official Congressional Directory is run of the mill routine listing and the "monetary approach" book is Keleher's. With the remaining three sources, I don't think WP:GNG reaches that low. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 00:21, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete, does not meet WP:PROF. Based on this page, I estimate his h-index at about 9 (someone please correct me if I am wrong). This page lists the 2645 economists with the highest h-index; the highest in the list is 91, the lowest is 14; Keleher is far below that, even though he co-authored some work with a notable economist, Thomas Humphrey. His citations and h-index as lead author are much lower (highest cite 19, h-index about 5)., would you please refrain from editing or creating pages on topics where you have a conflict of interest – this page should have been created as a draft and submitted through AfC.

 * Keep, the article speaks for itself. Mitzi.humphrey 13:42, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * delete I don't see the significant independent coverage needed to meet the GNG. My search at Google Scholar didn't show me anything that convinces me he's a noted academic. The COI bothers me, but isn't relevant to this discussion.Sandals1 (talk) 15:59, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability standards for academics as pointed out by both Sandals1 and Justlettersandnumbers. Like them I also share deep concerns regarding COI. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:52, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete fails GNG, the article includes primary sources it needs more independent sources. Another huge problem is COI which may include original research.___CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk   00:18, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
