Fails notability criteria for academics. None of the positions/titles he has held seem high-ranking enough to meet criteria #3, 5, or 6. His fellowship at IZA-Institute looks like it could meet criterion #3, but they have over 1,300 fellows, so that fails the "highly selective" part of #3. UNU-MERIT similarly has a ton of fellows. He's also the dean of Maastricht School of Management, but WP:NACADEMIC specifically says that dean positions don't qualify for #6. Nothing else he's done seems to meet any other criteria.

 * Keep To me, it looks like the subject meets WP:PROF#1 due to citation metrics. Thsmi002 (talk) 11:33, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not too experienced with academics' articles—where are you getting citation metrics from? I see he has a lot of published works, but that by itself isn't enough to satisfy WP:PROF. I'm not sure how to best go about determining which, if any, of his works are highly cited. – Iago Qnsi (User talk:IagoQnsi) 15:59, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I am referring to Google Scholar. He has several papers with over 100 citations, including one in 2013 with 328 citations. Hopefully other users will chime in with their thoughts. Thsmi002 (talk) 18:30, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for your message. As the creator of the page I have requested by my boss to delete his Wikipedia page. That is why I requested for deletion of the page. Please guide me in this matter. That would be much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maastricht52 (talk • contribs) <div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Note: User:Maastricht52 (the creator and biggest contributor to this page) has added a db-u1 tag to the page. This is the wrong tag (should be WP:G7), and the page probably has too many contributions from editors to be eligible for speedy deletion. I've notified them of this issue on their talk page and asked them to come comment on this AfD, but if they don't, it's worth noting that they appear to support deleting the page. – Iago Qnsi (User talk:IagoQnsi) 15:46, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, the article creator appears to be a spa/coi editor and the article has suffered BLP vandalism so i'm reasonably confident this is a genuine BLPREQUESTDELETE. The article average 6 views a day and half of them will be bots. Szzuk (talk) 19:59, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
