This researcher does not appear to fulfill the notability requirements for academics, with an h index of 12, a cite max of 101 and that (by some distance) highest-cited article co-authored as an undergrad, and no indications of recognized great influence in the field. - Much as I dislike judging academics by these metrics (my h-index makes me as notable as a dead fish) and despite my personal interest in this research topic, this is what the criteria on WP go by.

In any case, it is presumptuous, and not in keeping with normal Wiki style, to have Ph.D after the subject's name in the heading. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.158.209 (talk) 17:05, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not appear to pass WP:PROF — citations too low to convince me of a pass of #C1 and what else is there? The title indeed violates MOS:CREDENTIAL but that can be fixed if the article is kept. (Re the nomination statement, though: some dead fish are pretty notable.) —David Eppstein (talk) 18:16, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my opinion on this https://sociobiology.wordpress.com/2017/02/04/is-wikipedia-anti-intellectual-compare-athletes-to-academics-and-the-answer-is-yes/ Agelaia (talk) 20:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not yet pass WP:Prof. WP:Too soon. How interesting that people styled "PhD", "Dr", or "Professor" are so often deleted. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON, ((U|Xxanthippe]], and past outcomes. We almost never keep assistant professors, who are not generally tenured. We are not a resume website. Bearian (talk) 14:40, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:TOOSOON as mentioned above. No indication of notability in terms of professors yet. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:06, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
