Prof. Megahed seems to be a relatively senior professor, but not notable to the extent required by WP:PROF. Slashme (talk) 16:15, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:Prof#C1 with a GS h-index of 24. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:21, 31 July 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Keep. Megahed has identified and cloned a human gene named LAD1. There was no link set to LAD1, where he was already cited. Megaheds h-index is even 28. Kipepea (talk) 10:48, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: LAD1 is a gene for a protein with unclear function. At the moment, there are more than 92 thousand known human proteins. If we consider anyone who has identified and cloned a human protein to be notable, that's a lot of people. Also, WP:PROF cautions against using a person's h-index to determine notability. --Slashme (talk) 12:00, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Many highly-cited publications demonstrate a clear pass of WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:43, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
