The topic of this article does not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies. IndyNotes (talk) 16:43, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators and New Jersey. Shellwood (talk) 17:14, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Faulty deletion nomination appears to have failed to even consider our notability guideline for academics, which is independent of the one for biographies in general. The many citations of his work on Google Scholar (citation counts 614, 460, 277, 249, etc) are enough for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:17, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: I nominated the page for deletion because the article itself does not justify notability, even under notability guidelines for academics. But as David Eppstein points out, further digging reveals sufficient justification. The article needs substantial work, but it nonetheless meets notability guidelines.--IndyNotes (talk) 17:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Notability is not ever a property of "the article itself". It is a property of topics, not articles. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:47, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was referring, of course, to the notability of the topic as expressed within the article. IndyNotes (talk) 17:50, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So you're withdrawing the nomination and this can be closed up now? Jahaza (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Jahaza, yes.— IndyNotes — Preceding undated comment added 01:41, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
