Article does not have enough sources for notability, and is written similar to a resume. SweetCanadianMullet (talk) 20:33, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. A Google search for potential sources failed to get enough pages for establishing the subject's notability. Alexius08 (talk) 01:37, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. He passes multiple criteria of WP:PROF: #C1 (heavily cited publications on Google scholar), #C3 (fellow of multiple academic societies and national academies), and #C5 (the distinguished research professor job title) for a start. Probably with some searching we could also find enough reviews of his many books for him to pass WP:AUTHOR. The nomination does not show any evidence of understanding or checking the criteria for academic notability, and AfD should not be for cleanup. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Passes WP:PROF in multiple ways. Reviews of his books (turned up in a rather superficial search) include . XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:11, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong keep I agree with XOR&#39;easter Looking at Google scholar, he has many articles published, and his work is quite heavily cited. High profile positions held at a number of institutions. Passes WP:PROF easily. Deathlibrarian (talk) 03:55, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Worcester Reed Warner Medal seems significant; late career academic who's a "Distinguished Professor". Meets WP:PROF. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:37, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per David Eppstein  Passes WP:PROF but it needs a rewrite as it in the form of a resume.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 23:02, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
