After proposed deletion declined, my concerns remain: Non-notable academic per WP:SCHOLAR or WP:BIO. Article bloated with personal details that suggests strong conflict of interest. The claim that this person is notable for having eponymous species names is contradicted by WP:NACADEMIC Specific criteria notes: Having an object (asteroid, process, manuscript, etc.) named after the subject is not in itself indicative of satisfying Criterion 1. Even with all of the uncited personal fluff removed (see e.g. this version), this subject appears to be a perfectly respectable and accomplished biologist that however fails to meet criteria for inclusion in an encyclopedia. --Animalparty!

 * Delete: The article really is almost vacuous, once the "essay-like" personal chit-chat, and conventional CV stuff is removed. Imaginatorium (talk) 07:59, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per above what on earth - David Gerard (talk) 09:45, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as certainly not convincing for WP:AUTHOR (no library holdings either) or WP:PROF, it's simply a local community college, certainly nothing to suggest substantiated notability for an article. SwisterTwister   talk  20:09, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete No where near being a notable academic, the article is plagued by fluff.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:18, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. We have no evidence of passing WP:PROF or any other actual notability criterion, "notable injuries" caused by stepping on glass as a kid aside. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:30, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
