This article (a stub) was started four years ago but since then no work has been done on it. I have started a discussion of the academic notability of this researcher on its talk page, and again, here. Richard Gill (talk) 13:26, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: Appears to be highly cited, including one with over 6300 cites . Seems to be a pretty clear pass of WP:NPROF even if it is a stub. Curbon7 (talk) 17:50, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That is 6300 citations of a short note on a technical issue which led to "Nagelkerke R2" being a standard item in some statistical packages used in epidemiology. If this topic is important, then Nagelkerke is certainly a notable scholar, and there should also be a Wikipedia article on "generalisations of R2 to logistic regression". (There are several competing definitions of R2 in logistic regression; Nagelkerke R2 is used in SPSS, McFadden's R2 in STATA). Apart from this item, his citation pattern is typical for a senior biostatistician working his whole career in medical school, supplying the p-values for research in many parts of medicine and epidemiology. It's highly professional, laudable, and necessary work. But I can think of plenty of biostatisticians with evidently greater and wider impact who are missing from Wikipedia, for instance, Danish biostatistician Niels Keiding (RIP). Citation counts and H indices (age index!) are not everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics [NB I'm the one who made this proposal, but I'm neutral myself.] [Presently veering toward "Keep"] Richard Gill (talk) 08:15, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
