Promotional article and likely COI (author name is a close match to the subject, and author has no other contributions). Appears to fail WP:PROF. SCOPUS gives an h-index of 12. Article is bogged down with references to everything the subject ever write, including a number of suspect journals. Any assertion of notability is backed only by primary sources, most of which are under the control of the subject. Guy (Help!) 08:03, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete GS h-index of 20 for this highly cited field is too low to pass WP:Prof#1. I have removed the vastly bloated bibliography. If the article is kept there is more that could go. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Delete Nothing indicates this BLP passes WP:PROF or an "average professor". As always, the GS h-index is prone to overinflate citation counts, and the SCOPUS h-index of 12 is more realistic. This doesn't even pass the low bar of using citation count indices. Kingofaces43 (talk) 23:06, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
