Article reads like a resume. Has been flagged for cleanup since 2007 with little to no improvement. No results in JSTOR. He's an academic psychologist, so of course he is published but he doesn't appear to be a notable academic psychologist.  *Kat*  (meow?) 11:46, 7 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. A GScholar search gives an h-index score of over 60 which, even with most or all of the articles multiple-authored, would be well beyond enough to pass WP:Prof#1 in most areas. If this area is an exception, then someone will no doubt come along and correct me. PWilkinson (talk) 14:58, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep That h-index is kinda conclusive, but somebody who knows psychology should go and prune that bibliography so that only the most important works are listed. Successful academics have hundreds of publications, and Wikipedia is not meant to be a repository of their entire CVs. Ray  Talk 14:34, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. h-index is conclusive but nom would be entitled to purge unnecessary material. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:14, 14 February 2013 (UTC).
