Despite numerous biographies from associated organizations, there is no indication that this person meets WP:GNG or WP:ACADEMIC. That the article reads like his PR person wrote it doesn't help. Previous AFD was no consensus. Toddst1 (talk) 21:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: Google Scholar citation numbers and Google Books hits may suggest meeting WP:NACADEMIC #1, depending on the numbers one uses as a standard. No doubt, this guy has put a lot of effort into self-promotion, but it seems like he's been successful at it, and we're not in a position to judge whether the attention he's received is deserved. The article still has major NPOV problems, but I'm not sure we can delete on that basis. — swpb T 15:56, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly and unambiguously meets WP:PROF. In fields where journal articles are the primary means of communication, the influence of an individual as recognized by their peers is shown by citations. He had citations counts of 265, 182, 162, 145, 135, 123, 68, ... That's 6papers with over 100 citations each. Even in the most citation-heavy biomedical sciences, that's an excellent record. I don't think we've ever held that someone with two or more papers with over 100 citations each did not meet WP:PROF, The nom sees no indication of meeting WP:PROF, but I think that is due to the tone of the article. If we want to delete for promotionalism, that would be another matter, but in this case it is easily fixable and I'm doing that right now. (I do not think we should pay attention to claims of "easily fixed" unless the person making the claims or someone else interested is actually prepared to fix them.;) DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
