 * Weak delete. Citations on Google scholar for author:James-E-Campbell (omitting unrelated hits from the more notable political scientist with the same name) are 560 (An approach to sensitivity analysis I), 202 (An approach to sensitivity analysis II), 34+30+15+14 (Risk methodology for geologic disposal, four hits), 11 (Distributed velocity method of solving the convective-dispersion equation), etc. The first two numbers are good but the very rapid tail-off makes it hard to justify a pass of WP:PROF. And I'm having difficulty finding anything in-depth about him even from his employer, even to justify the claim of being a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff. As for the claim to having developed Latin hypercube sampling, our article on that topic lists two other publications as having first proposed the technique, with Campbell being one of three authors who "further elaborated" it. I don't think that's enough by itself. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:06, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
