Likely doesnt meet WP:NPROF, the subject has had various academic position from dean to provost but no position that would qualify him under NPROF#6. Looking at his Google Scholar Profile I dont see a good argument for NPROF#1. He has an h-index of 8 with a couple of academic papers but not enough to pass NPROF#1. Overall, the article is poorly sourced with puff pieces from academic communication offices "Meet the Dean" articles about him and an article in an alumni magazine (not independent either) and I dont see a pass of GNG or enough coverage through WP:RS. hroest 03:09, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is a difficult one. His GS cites seem extraordinary low. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:47, 7 November 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Comment. Not seeing anything here to meet WP:PROF by citations; agree with Xxanthippe that they look surprisingly low for the positions held. His bio [1] states he was "founding editor of the Journal of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology" if anyone's familiar with it? [2] states it's from RIT Press.

Weak delete. I deprodded a few years ago, and the provost position is probably weighty enough that it merits an AfD discussion. But provost for a satellite campus of the third state university of Texas is probably short of WP:NPROF C6. Little sign of other notability. A journal with 2 volumes [3] is surely not well-established for WP:NPROF C8. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 22:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant Delete as above. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Weak Delete Tricky because provost could be considered as meeting academic notability criterium 6. As pointed above though it is only a satellite campus for a minor institution.
