William Lamb (professor)

I don't think he meets NACADEMIC or GNG. There's almost no secondary coverage and he doesn't meet any of the obvious NACADEMIC criteria, no named professorship, significant reviews of his books, etc. While it's true that he's occasionally been cited by the media, I don't think that's enough to make him notable. Here are Google Scholar results; no publications make 50 citations. Zerach (talk) 21:22, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Citation counts too low to meet WP:PROF; no other notability evident. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:24, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see the significant independent coverage I believe is needed to meet WP:GNG. My search didn't find evidence that he meets any criteria of WP:NPROF. Papaursa (talk) 22:47, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
