Delete disputed prod; fails WP:GNG; claims awards from redlink organizations but no showing that the awards are notable much less the conferees. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. He seems to be quite prominent in Northern Irish agriculture and known internationally for his expertise. There's a plausible (though weak) case for WP:PROF criteria #1, #2, and #6. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The award, presidency of BSAS and overall research output add up to meet WP:PROF criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed), or very close, even if we were to argue criteria 2 and 6 are not met. I think this Google News search is telling, and indicates notability, even though this Google Scholar search suggests that his citation impact is relatively low. I say “relatively” because the subject is known in a very specialized and applied area, which may not be very dense in terms of citations.--Eric Yurken (talk) 20:42, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Week Keep on balance, though its a field where it is very hard to tell--only one criterion in WP:PROF has to be met. This is a little below par in individual items, but I think the sum is just sufficient.  DGG (talk) 02:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
