Nauseatingly promotional, bought-and-paid-for biography of a commercial scientist. The subject does not pass WP:PROF: he doesn't hold an academic position; the number of citations to his work is modest; and none of the societies mentioned in the article are selective or prestigious. No indication of meeting the WP:GNG either. – Joe (talk) 08:13, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, basically per nom. A promotional paid biography. Citability data for the subject in GScholar is fairly modest, and there is nothing else in the record to indicate passing WP:PROF on other grounds. Nsk92 (talk) 11:03, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No evidence of exceptional (or even borderline) prominence that could pass WP:PROF and/or make up for the promotionalism. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:17, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think the nomination and the above !votes have it pretty much right. XOR'easter (talk) 19:30, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
