Just an average academic and faculty member at the University of Waterloo. No claim of notability on the article, and no indication his works made a significant impact in the academia. A search on the person also reveals little coverage outside of university websites. Fails WP:PROF, WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Dps04 (talk) 10:49, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. For anyone else having trouble finding his publications, in this sort of area MathSciNet provides comprehensive coverage. It lists only three publications by him, "On the supremum of a family of singular compactifications", "When does the family of singular compactifications form a complete lattice?", and "Compactifying a convergence space with functions". Google scholar shows zero citations for any of them. (There is also a brief biography of Adolphe Quetelet written in French by someone with a similar name that they don't identify as being the same person.) Mathematics is a low-citation subject but we can't base an article on nothing. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:33, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Few publications, and no other indication of WP:NPROF or other notability.  FWIW, it looks from the initial revision like the article was created by his 1st year students as some kind of joke or tribute. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:07, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication of passing WP:PROF or anything else. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 22:40, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a very clear failure of academic notability guidelines. Not every holder of a professorship is notable, and nothing more stringent than that would make this guy notable. Of course I can't resist pointing out that if this was like our football criteria everyone who had ever been the teacher of record for a sourse at a regionally acredited university in the US would be considered notable, and we would try to find an equallybroad criteria for academics in every country.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:43, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Barely any publications and doesn't pass WP:PROF. There are tens of thousands of professors just like the subject, and not all merit articles (and certainly don't pass GNG). --Kbabej (talk) 17:13, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
