I originally tagged this article for speedy deletion under A7 and G11, then a user contested and and removed promotional content. However, the subject lacks WP:SIGCOV and the article still relies on primary sources. Waddles 🗩 🖉 21:14, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: fails WP:BASIC --Whiteguru (talk) 21:28, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Moderate pass of WP:Prof on GS citations; adequate for applied mathematics. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:06, 3 September 2021 (UTC).
 * Keep. The reference currently in the article asserts, among other things, that He is the current President of the Benin National Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters.  It also indicates that he is a fellow of the African Academy of Sciences.  According to Google Scholar he has been cited more than 1200 times (which sounds like a lot to me for a mathematician, although I don't look at GS numbers much so I don't promise).  Surely we have some non-empty subset of WP:NPROF criteria 1, 2, and 3 here? --JBL (talk) 23:08, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the considerations above, I think the UNITWIN/UNESCO International Chair in Mathematical Physics and Applications may give him a pass of WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:41, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. The GS record looks a little light to me for WP:NPROF C1 by itself (I'd like to see a few papers with a higher number citations, in addition to the breadth exhibited), but he had a conference in his honor, with a Festschrift volume published by Springer .  I think that meets C1.  I also believe the WP:NPROF C3 and C5 cases advanced by other editors. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:08, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Scopus analysis is hampered by the incredible breadth in fields he publishes in (contributing applied math expertise to oceanography, chem, materials science, and medicine papers) outside of what (I think) are his specialties of mathematical physics/abstract algebra. However, the parameters outside of straight citation metrics look pretty solid for C1 and likely C3 or C5. JoelleJay (talk) 16:35, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would consider over 1000 citation in Google Scholar to meet WP:Academics criteria. Peter303x (talk) 09:08, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 *  Keep passes WP:Prof.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 20:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Russ Woodroofe. RomanSpa (talk) 14:48, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
