Fails GNG. Fails NPROF, unless being a Canada Research Chair qualifies? Jprg1966 (talk)  01:21, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: recent AfDs that involved Canada Research Chairs:
 * Articles for deletion/Joanne Roberts -delete
 * Articles for deletion/Victoria Talwar -- delete (this was a requested delete)
 * Articles for deletion/Ebrahim Bagheri -- delete
 * Articles for deletion/Charity Marsh -- delete
 * Articles for deletion/Gerard van Herk -- redirect to professor's garage rock band
 * Articles for deletion/John Gosse -- keep
 * Articles for deletion/Mosto Mostapha Bousmina -- keep
 * There are a total of 1,993 Canada Research Chairs. Some commenters opined in these AfDs that only tier 1 Canada Research Chairs should count towards WP:PROF. See Canada Research Chair: tier 1 chairs are for senior academics and constitute 38% of Canada Research Chairs. The remaining 62% are tier 2 chairs for promising junior academics with potential, such as Bryan Yipp. -- A. B. (talk • contribs •  global count)  02:14, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. He is an assistant professor and tier 2 CRC. Whatever one thinks about tier 1 CRCs, that definitely doesn't count for WP:PROF, which is only for above-full-professor level appointments. That said, he seems to be the go-to expert on NETosis (two first-author papers with 4-digit citation counts on Google Scholar, seemingly the top-cited two works on that subject), so I think he passes WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:08, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * weak keep. I agree with David, while a CRC Tier 2 is an early career award and does not count towards NPROF, I think with his strong expertise on a niche field, three publications with 1000+ citations each and a healthy h-index of 23, he passes the NPROF#1 -- not by much since he is still early career but there is enough for a pass. --hroest 15:53, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: I don't really see any reason to get in the way of a delete on this article, which is a one-sentence stub that would be eligible for G5 deletion if this AfD hadn't been opened instead. I realize that isn't exactly an argument for deletion, which is why this isn't a !vote, but I think it's context to keep in mind, given that no one has advanced a strong keep argument. -- asilvering (talk) 22:40, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It is incorrect that this article would be eligible for G5 deletion. G5 is only for articles created by already-indef-blocked (or banned) editors evading their block. This article was created in March 2017; the SPI that banned SwisterTwister was not initiated until December 2017. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:55, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, my bad. Disregard, then. -- asilvering (talk) 00:24, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep or Draftify. I added two significant cites from CTV News, a well-respected major national mainstream news outlet. Owen&times; &#9742;  20:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
