Does not establish notability. Hundreds of university professors have published their work, this one is no different, and there is nothing unusual or special. Further more the article is a significant copy of pages from his employers website, as found by CorenSearchBot. Patchy1 Talk To Me! 14:33, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Better to expand this article and create others on people who have published 60 papers. Abtract (talk) 14:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

 * note. I have fixed the copyvio problem (if one existed) and added some more substance. Abtract (talk) 18:02, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Among papers where he's first author, the best only has 15 citations in Google scholar; two his other papers, where he played a non-leading role as part of a larger team, are a little better cited but not well enough to convince me that he passes WP:PROF #1. There is no sign that he passes the other WP:PROF criteria. And the heel size formula in the Grauniad, while an amusing sidelight, does not seem enough to base a biography on. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Order of authors is unassessable information in this field. Apart from that I agree with above comment. Xxanthippe (talk) 12:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC).
