Unremarkable person. Notability has not been established, even in the prior deletion discussion. This would fall under A7 for speedy deletion, but somehow this article survived a deletion discussion in 2010. Gamebuster (Talk)║Contributions) 09:00, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly not an A7. It was not deleted in 2010 because the subject passed WP:PROF on multiple criteria. That hasn't changed. In fact the case for him passing #C1 as a highly cited researcher is much stronger than it was before: he has 18 papers that have been cited over 100 times, one that has been cited over 1000 times, and a h-index of 39. That is a lot of coverage! – Joe (talk) 10:37, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Perhaps you nominate the wrong article not the one you intended. Besides numerous points highlighted above, he also passes WP:PROF #8. He has been editor in chief of peer-reviewed academic journal Evolution and Human Behavior. Thus passing multiple criteria. Though the article is in bad shape, but that is not reason for deletion. –Ammarpad (talk) 11:26, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- meets WP:PROF and per prior AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:09, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. The case for WP:PROF was weak (but confirmed) ten years ago; it is strong now. The nomination statement fails to advance a reason for deletion that justifies overturning the previous consensus. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:54, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep h-index high 30s, ed of a mainstream journal, etc. Nom may wish to withdraw this to save time. Agricola44 (talk) 01:51, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
