I don’t think this subject passes WP:NPROF. Google scholar shows them mainly as the second or third author of many papers, lead author in twenty papers over the first ten pages of search: no notable awards or other distinctions either and does not appear to meet any of the 8 notability criteria for academics.

 * Comment. In most other fields his citation record would be easily enough for WP:PROF, even considering only first-author papers. But I'm not sure yet, because typical citation counts in medical imaging are so huge., this might be a good test case for your methods of trying to normalize these counts for the discipline. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:27, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping! I'll work on it, might take some time since he has so many coauthors (Scopus doesn't export more than 150). Will update when I have data. JoelleJay (talk) 23:59, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. Scopus coauthor citation metrics of Pedrizzetti's 272 (out of ~425) coauthors with 30+ papers (this is a pretty low cutoff; the median paper number is 44):
 * Total citations: average: 8184, median: 2775, Pedrizzetti: 5590.
 * Total papers: avg: 191, med: 120, P: 150.
 * h-index: avg: 33, med: 26, P: 38.
 * Top 5 papers: 1st: avg: 896, med: 318, P: 580. 2nd: avg: 553, med: 186, P: 422. 3rd: avg: 407, med: 150, P: 266. 4th: avg: 320, med: 128, P: 242. 5th: avg: 266, med: 108, P: 201.
 * So, Pedrizzetti is strongly above the median, but also generally well below the average (except for h-index). On the other hand, the standard deviations are outrageous--like >1.5x the average. I would say he is likely notable. 01:09, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak keep but stubbify. Per the analysis above, he has a plausible case for WP:PROF notability. But the article is an unsourced mess that needs to be hacked back. —David Eppstein (talk) 09:21, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks that sounds very sensible. Mccapra (talk) 11:42, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
