There are zero references and only two external links for this article, one of them being the professor's personal page at the FSU website. The other link makes no mention of the subject at all.  CatcherStorm    talk   17:08, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Per WP:PROF the subject of the article may be notable since the article claims he has won awards, but the external link to the professor's page may not be acceptable under WP:RS since the professor himself may have contributed to the page.  CatcherStorm    talk   17:19, 25 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep Passes WP:PROF for holding a named chair and having been elected an AAAS Fellow (easily verified with the AAAS website, and now properly sourced in the article). Cleanup is required, but that's not what AfD is for. Links to professors' departmental or faculty webpages are commonplace on academic biographies. They are primary sources, but acceptable (generally, sources affiliated with an academic, like the university where they are employed, are suitable for uncontroversial claims, like the title they hold or the year they were hired).

 * Snow keep. Easy pass of WP:PROF (heavily cited publications on Google Scholar), #C3 (multiple society fellowships), and #C5 (named professorship). —David Eppstein (talk) 18:36, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I think only one of the society memberships is what we'd consider a Fellowship that qualifies for #C3, but one (AAAS) is enough. And #C1 and #C5 are definitely met. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 18:49, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
