contested prod. I don't feel the subject passes WP:ACADEMIC. Dearth of biographic material and sourcing. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 08:41, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication of notability. I could not find any relevant reliable independent sources.IRWolfie- (talk) 19:12, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Web of Science gives an h-index of 20 for "Hansen DL". Unfortunately, it turns out that there are several people of the same name and the one publishing in this field does not get farther than about 3 publications with a maximum of 16 citations. Too early, too soon (and from the alternative name listed in the persondata template, this might be an autobio. I also am puzzled by the link to Prussia and the mention of him being an Eagle scout...) --Guillaume2303 (talk) 19:17, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence from article or Google searches that this person would meet WP:Notability (academics) or WP:BASIC. Qwfp (talk) 19:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems to fail standard WP:PROF citations test, as Guillaume2303 has found. Some of the links are broken, others are to generic web pages, while several others suggest that this work was done under the supervision of an advisor, i.e. as a grad student rather than independent scientist. Page created by SPA Gopher79. This is likely to be just a promotion page. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 16:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC).
 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF and WP:GNG. Note that the REU research called out within the article is not even graduate work; REU stands for Research Experience for Undergraduates. Additionally, the article ASci Corporation on his employer deserves some scrutiny; it was padded with primary sources that I just removed, and I'm not convinced they're notable either. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:34, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
