No third party references in more than a year. Google search fails to find any third party coverage. No real notability claim in article. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:52, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * delete. No sources added in a year of asking is enough. This guy just isn't notable. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:03, 16 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - This is the biography of a climate change scientist. I'm not going to delve into the very real question of the subject's individual notability at this moment... I just bring this fact to the body's attention, since this is a topic over which there has been bitter edit warring at WP. Carrite (talk) 14:21, 16 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I further note that this challenge should be weighed on the standards set for academics. I add that Gregory seems to be widely published in the scientific press as an expert on climate change modeling. Carrite (talk) 14:27, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Meets WP:PROF. The Web of Science lists more than 100 articles that have been cited over 5000 times, leading to an h-index of 33. (I have weeded out some articles by somebody with the same name working on particle physics, but only did that in the first 40 publications, to have an exact h and approximate number of total cites). On many of the highly cited articles he is either first or last author. Don't know which "side" of the climate debate he's on, but notable he is without any doubt. --Crusio (talk) 14:34, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Apart from high citability of Gregory's work, noted by Crusio, Gregory was one of the lead authors of IPCC Third Assessment Report and IPCC Fourth Assessment Report - that is the stuff for which IPCC got the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Nsk92 (talk) 20:59, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. It seems that the subject is usually referred to as "Jonathan Gregory", without the middle initial: . Phil Bridger (talk) 21:16, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Clear keep. Stupendous cites on GS (although in a highly cited subject) pass WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC).
 * keep - passes WP:PROF. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:29, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
