 * Comment: Per his GScholar, he still appears to be the priamry or second writer on 4 papers with over 800 cites. Curbon7 (talk) 19:23, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I agree that this person was an author on some highly referenced papers but I don't see any other signs of notability. I'm not sure if his role as director of a research office is anything equivalent to "named chair". I see this person as a capable, working scientist but not otherwise distinguished. I also note that he himself requested that the page be deleted for lack of notability. Lamona (talk) 18:01, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I think that an encyclopedia entry should contain its own justification and answer, or hint at an answer, to 'what is this person known for?' Or at very least hints at where an answer might be found. It can be precise (discovered X) or based on authority (won XX prize) or vague (developed novel uses for ...). Known for being cited is circular. Hooploop23k (talk) 23:55, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello all. I’m the subject of this article and have also requested deletion in the past. This article has also been requested for deletion a number of times by the original author. I would be more than happy to see this page simply go away so y’all can focus on properly notable humans in the encyclopedia.

(Also sorry if I messed up this comment, I have no idea how this works, but wanted to add a little color.

All the best,

J. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrCuff (talk • contribs) 17:24, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
