Non-notable individual. Lacks GHits of substance and limited GNEWS. Appears to fail WP:BIO.  ttonyb (talk) 06:09, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I think this needs more references. The tone is pretty dodgy too.  Also the pictures make it look like this is his Facebook profile.  Not so adamant that I couldn't change to Keep but needs serious work to prove notability DRosin (talk) 10:51, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I think this person could be notable in the future, but as with most entry-level profs, his article is premature – WoS shows an h-index of only 9 (insufficient for WP:PROF #1) and he doesn't appear to satisfy any of the other criteria. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete. Assistant professor, PhD 2004, a bit too junior yet for academic notability. WoS lists several recent papers in Nature and he is at Stanford, so probably will be notable soon, but not just yet. Nsk92 (talk) 18:34, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, too junior, notability not established. However, I have to point out that he is far more notable than many academics who have passed AfD. Hairhorn (talk) 04:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - just below what I'd like to see for WP:PROF. When he becomes department chair, or Associate Professor, or wins a major grant or award, then he will rate a Wikipedia article IMHO.  Bearian (talk) 19:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. May become WP notable but not yet. Article created too early. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:45, 6 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete. Not currently notable as those above have described.  --Glenfarclas (talk) 01:49, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
