No reliable sources are given to establish notability, and when I searched for them, none seemed to exist. He also doesn't seem to match any of the criteria at WP:NACADEMIC. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:50, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Looks far WP:TOOSOON for any of the WP:NPROF criteria for this 2016 PhD; I've added their Google Scholar profile to the article for clarity, as there is a physicist of a similar name.  The subject appears to also have a real analysis textbook, but I don't see any sign of reviews for WP:NAUTHOR nor of widespread adoption.  No sign of other notability.

 * Delete. TOOSOON. From reading just the titles of his papers, finding a new lower bound for van der Waerden numbers could be a cool result that might get more attention with time, although my perception of its relative importance might be skewed from these dudes being at my university.

 * Delete, TOOSOON for WP:PROF notability and I don't see the critical attention to his two self-published textbooks that would be needed for WP:AUTHOR notability. (Self-publication is not the problem here; it's the lack of reviews.) There has been a bit of a breakthrough in vdW #s recently, so when I saw that in the AfD I thought there might at least be some publicity for Cummings out of it, but no. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:54, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NPROF and WP:TOOSOON, as suggested above. -- Kinu t/c 23:47, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
