Article does not establish notability. No endowed professorships or awards mentioned, and his "selected papers" don't seem especially noteworthy BeIsKr (talk) 01:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I did the work of actually checking. Scopus shows 55 papers, most of them in very good international journals. The citations for the highest are 49, 32, 31. This is not a Nobe;l-prize winning record, but considering the number of papers, it is enough for notability    DGG ( talk ) 03:19, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. More than just journal papers are needed, ideally we need non-trivial coverage of this individual from multiple third party publications demonstrating notability.  JBsupreme (talk) 06:09, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't think this kind of citation record, for a theoretical physicist after a 40-year career, is anything to write home about, and I don't see anything else that would convince me that he passes WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. GS, as seen above, gives from its wider coverage rather larger cites of 69, 60, 44, 35, 9, 9... with h index = 7. Such cites are non-trivial coverage of this individual from multiple third party publications but in this case are not sufficent to ensure notability. This usually requires many hundreds of cites.
