David M. Diamond

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not satisfy general notability or WP:NACADEMIC as written. Google search shows that he did write a paper on why parents forget that they have left their children in hot cars, which is one step beyond knowing that he exists. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:10, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Is also an expert witness on Forgotten baby syndrome. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:12, 3 September 2018 (UTC).


 * Comment - I see no "also". Leaving children in hot cars is the same as forgotten baby syndrome.  Robert McClenon (talk) 23:29, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The "also" applies to his expert witness status, as well as his academic status. He did not just "write a paper" on this but is a widely sought authority for criminal trials, and widely quoted in mainstream media.  All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 09:45, 4 September 2018 (UTC).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Not seeing any significant coverage in RS. NickCT (talk) 22:42, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NACADEMIC....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm seeing Google Scholar citation counts of 1834 ("Aβ peptide vaccination prevents memory loss in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease"), 1327 ("The stressed hippocampus, synaptic plasticity and lost memories"), 678 ("Inverted‐U relationship between the level of peripheral corticosterone and the magnitude of hippocampal primed burst potentiation", with Diamond as first author), etc. To me that's easily enough for WP:PROF, even in a high-citation field such as neuroscience. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:29, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, it's not merely that he wrote a paper on children in hot cars, as he nomination states. He appears to have been the go-to expert on children in hot cars for national and international media for years, to the point that there are so many news stories about it that it makes it difficult to find news stories about anything else he has done. I think he passes WP:PROF for this. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:07, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. He's a neuroscientist, and he might even be a very good one, but his notability has not yet been established. Ira Leviton (talk) 18:35, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I think David Eppstein is right about WP:PROF. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:03, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per David. A clear pass of WP:PROF based on scholarly impact and media coverage of his research on children in hot cars. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 11:25, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep because his research is pretty important on stress and ... umm ... forgetfulness. Bearian (talk) 00:42, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: He has achieved notability on the grounds of academic status.--Ipigott (talk) 07:04, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * keep. The article has gone from 1 ref to 7 refs since the start of the afd, it is now a very obvious keep. Szzuk (talk) 21:03, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
