 * Keep. 9 papers cited over 100x passes WP:Prof. Thsmi002 (talk) 03:23, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Is this listed somewhere? According to Web of Science, he has one paper that has been cited more than 100 times (Sortase enzymes in Gram-positive bacteria, Molecular Microbiology). There also is no definition of "highly cited" so that's debatable, but a requirement for articles in general is that there must be coverage of them. You'll need to show that there are sources available that can be used to write an article. Natureium (talk) 17:58, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I am using Google Scholar . I agree that what is termed "highly cited" is subjective and may vary based on the field. Thsmi002 (talk) 18:52, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - While subjective, I think his citation count passes WP:NSCHOLAR.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:32, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete a total failure of GNG with nothing anywhere even close to a 3rd party source.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:13, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * ACADEMIC is a separate guideline from GNG. Thsmi002 (talk) 21:50, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I think he does actually pass WP:PROF. But the article is relentlessly picayune (do we really need to know his mother's home town and the name of the guy who showed him how to use an NMR machine?) and I searched but did not find secondary sourcing that could provide more substantive content for the article, like major breakthroughs he might have been part of or even a general flavor of his research specialty. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:06, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
