Assistant professor not at a major research university. Does not pass WP:PROF. agt x 22:04, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Assistant professors are rarely notable, more often associate professors are notable. We would at least need an indication of impact for Downs work and we lack that.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:22, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as certainly not convincing for both the applicable notabilities of professors and authors, the article contains nothing else to suggest his works have been significant. SwisterTwister   talk  23:32, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nothing to suggest Downs passes the professor test and I suspect it's an autobiography. WP:TOOSOON. Joe Roe (talk) 01:58, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Tiny GS cites: WP:Too soon. Ineptly written BLP. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:20, 10 October 2016 (UTC).
 * Delete. Assistant professors usually do not yet have enough impact for notability and this one does not appear to be an exception. Six publications in Google scholar with an h-index of 4 is, as Xxanthippe says, too soon for WP:PROF, and there seems to be nothing else. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:21, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable, article is effectively a résumé and apparently also self-authored. Blythwood (talk) 10:27, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. He has had some mentions in excellent sources for his work on a missing link, but probably not enough to pass the PROF test. Sorry. Bearian (talk) 21:26, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
