I created this article in 2009 when I was still fairly new to WP. In retrospect I am not convinced Professor Mills passes WP:PROF. I welcome opionions... Flaming Ferrari (talk) 08:40, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Full professor at Berkeley is suggestive, and he has three publications with over 100 citations each on Google scholar in what may be a somewhat low-citation field ("Voracity, cannibalism and coccinellid predation", "Is the biological control of insects a natural phenomenon?", and "Modelling the biological control of insect pests: a review of host-parasitoid models"). But the evidence isn't very strong. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:58, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Based on Google Scholar results, seems to have an h-index of over 20 (note there's also a materials scientist called NJ Mills, who seems more highly cited in what's probably a field with more citations). Would help if someone can confirm this with an authoritative source. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:11, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I get a GS h-index of 29 which is a clear pass of WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC).
 * Keep (I think), but I would be happier if the article listed some of his publications, rather than the academic awards given him. The UK-related stub tag is inappropriate for an academic who has apparently been teaching in an Amnerican University, since he got his doctorate (or even since he graduated).
