Not notable. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 00:31, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * It is customary for a deletion nomination to give at least a few words of explanation of why the nominator thinks that a subject doesn't meet the applicable notability guidelines, in this case WP:PROF, WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 11:23, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - I believe he meets WP:ACADEMIC based on Google Scholar citations; however, article needs massive cleanup. —Мандичка YO 😜 12:10, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as not only is the nomination thin with only "not notable" when it's in fact necessary (for these subjects) to be clear and specific, and he is in fact notable both as a professor and author, it's enough. SwisterTwister   talk  00:00, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think counting Google scholar citations is the wrong way to go for this subject. However, I think he has enough academic monographs by respectable publishers, and enough reviews of them, to pass WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:56, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
