Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 02:01, 10 October 2018 (UTC) Comment: The nomination and one previous comment are perhaps a bit too dismissive. Once one has made sure that one is looking at the right individual, the subject has had two or three highly-cited publications and a few more with distinctly decent citation rates. Having said that, his h-index is only 15, in a field where I think one would usually expect rather more for notability. PWilkinson (talk) 17:57, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
