Despite its polished look the article does not, and is unlikely to ever, meet WP:GNG or WP:Prof. A close examination of the edit history revels the article is almost certainly an autobiographical creation. Grey Wanderer (talk) 16:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep. The article clearly and obviously passes WP:PROF#C5 as a named professor ("James C. Dowell Professorship"), #C3 as a Fellow of both AAAS and ASME, #C1 for many highly cited publications [1], #C8 for editor-in-chief of Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, and probably also WP:AUTHOR for his book publications if someone wants to dig up the reviews on those. And although it may have been an autobiography originally, that is not a deletion criterion, and it was twelve years and many edits ago. The first AfD already found evidence of passing WP:PROF and closed as keep with the finding that no valid deletion rationale was given. Now, 10 years later, the only thing that has changed is that evidence of passing WP:PROF is much much more abundant. But still no valid deletion rationale has been given. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:21, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Passes WP:Prof as above. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:19, 27 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]
- Speedy keep Passes multiple criteria of WP:PROF, as argued above. And autobiography (or CV-like writing) would be grounds to check the article carefully and edit as appropriate, not to delete it. XOR'easter (talk) 00:17, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep passes WP:PROF.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 00:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Agree with the reasoning above. Passes multiple criteria from the notability standards for academics including #3 (AAAS fellowship), and #5 (named professorship). MoneciousTriffid (talk) 03:44, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep H index of 50, named professor, fellowship, book author. Easily meets the notability criteria. Kj cheetham (talk) 19:40, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep, easy PROF pass with h-index of 50 as well as additional criteria.--Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉]) 12:26, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, Per above , passes WP:Prof. Alex-h (talk) 14:10, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
