 * Comment. Top GS cites 26, 11, 11, 10, 9, 9, 8, 8... h = 8. Does not look a goer for WP:Prof#1. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC).

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

*Delete. Hard to avoid this. Input from other editors would be desirable. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete Fails GNG and WP:PROF. When he dies and they publish his obituary then he will pass according to some of the editors here.  LOL. Drawn Some (talk) 10:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Entirely self-sourced, with no indication in the article that he passes WP:PROF. I did find two newspaper stories relating to his research: "Tennessee sinkhole yielding fossil treasure that's 4.5 million years old and counting", Atlanta Journal-Constitution, October 8, 2000, and "Corpses find new life in forensic research at Tennessee's Body Farm", Dallas Morning News, October 31, 2003. If they contain enough that's specifically about him, and the article could be rewritten to be based primarily on those sources, I might reconsider, but they're behind a paywall so I haven't read the whole articles. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
