Colin G. DeYoung

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Academic who does not seem to meet notability criteria for professors or the WP:GNG. Website doesn't have a full CV, but searching "Colin DeYoung awards" shows he won a Jeffery S. Tanaka Dissertation Award from the Association for Research in Psychology (not to be confused with an award by the same name but with different criteria awarded by the American Psychological Association) in 2006 for his dissertation, but it doesn't seem to rise to the level of "a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level"; we don't have an article on the award or the awarding institution, the awarding institution was founded in 2001 but first awarded the honor in 1993 (with a 3 year hiatus from 2000 to 2003) which is weird to say the least, and searching "Tanaka dissertation award" yields coverage almost entirely of the APA's award (and a similarly named award in the field of physics) not the ARP that the subject won. The claim to "significant impact in their scholarly discipline" is referenced to the subject's personal website. Publications have a number of citations on google scholar, but I've yet to find a secondary source saying there's been a "significant impact" positive or negative. As for the GNG, the subject is name checked in some popular press articles on studies they published, but the coverage is of the study, not the subject of the article.

 * Keep Passes WP:PROF with a good citation profile (h-index of 44, 29 articles in the triple-digit range). XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:11, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The dissertation award doesn't count for much but his Google Scholar profile shows 30 publications with over 100 citations each, easily enough for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per XOR&#39;easter's and David Eppstein's rationales. --1l2l3k (talk) 20:39, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn for reasons above. Wugapodes [thɔk] [ˈkan.ˌʧɻɪbz] 00:35, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
