Muneer Alshowkan

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Alshowkan doesn't seem to meet any of the WP:NACADEMIC criteria, having reached Assistant Professor before leaving for industry. His current post (from the references) is "postdoctoral scholar". His important work seems to have been done as part of a team at Oak Ridge. Considering WP:BIO, there are some prizes ('top 100' listing in an industry magazine), but this doesn't seem sufficiently notable. My searches don't find more to add to the notability argument (including looking at Scopus and Google Scholar listings, which are linked). Klbrain (talk) 07:12, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete. The job titles are largely irrelevant, and ORNL is a government research lab, not "industry". But for someone who works there, the relevant criteria are still most of the same ones under WP:PROF, with maybe #C5 out of reach but the rest still relevant. His citation record is not enough to convince me of WP:PROF, and we have no evidence of any of the other criteria (such as being elected as a fellow of a major research society). I don't think the R&D World magazine listicle  counts towards WP:GNG or anything else, because it is not a significant national-level honor (merely the topic one of 100 spammy short articles per year in a certain magazine) and the article does not even mention Alshowkan. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. With an h-factor of 12 and 61 publications he is not even close to WP:PROF. I also have some concerns about the award, since it is not an independent sources -- if it is real then there will be one. Ldm1954 (talk) 05:34, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
