Not confident this guy meets any of the points in WP:NPROF. As I've admitted elsewhere, I'm not the best judge of NPROF, so I ran it by. He advised it was a borderline case so I figured I'd run it by AfD. I'm by no means strenuously arguing for deletion, so I'm happy to withdraw if people are pretty sure he meets the criteria. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 04:50, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Agree with nom: borderline. GS h-index of 11 a bit low. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:40, 27 March 2019 (UTC).
 * H index is irrelevant outside science and the experiemental social sciences. This is particularly true in archeology, where publication is very specialized and the citation density is low.  DGG ( talk ) 09:15, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment One of his books is held in over 1600 libraries, potentially meeting WP:PROF (I don't know much about how this relates to library holdings, though). IntoThinAir (talk) 17:53, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete--I need to see at-least 3 major publications, which have been extensively reviewed. The positions that he held does not confer notability either. &#x222F; WBG converse 19:21, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Commenting to point out that he is the author of two independently notable books: African Sites: Archaeology in the Caribbean and African Re-Genesis: Confronting Social Issues in the Diaspora. (They were not linked in the article at the time of nomination.) MarkZusab (talk) 23:48, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, because you did only write the articles two days ago. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:33, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * - in a sense, that's an interesting variation of WP:HEY - demonstrate notability by improving/creating articles other than the one undergoing AfD WP:HEYOTHER? Nosebagbear (talk) 13:12, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep based on the multiple reviews of his books linked above (WP:PROF/WP:AUTHOR), although I'd merge them into Haviser's article. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 12:36, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:AUTHOR based on reviews of his books. Thsmi002 (talk) 21:20, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 11:25, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Joe (either criterion). Nosebagbear (talk) 13:14, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
