Associate professor at a not-terribly-important university. Has written a few books, but they don't seem like they've had a major impact. H-index of 4 according to google scholar. Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:34, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Early career academic. GS h index of 4. Too early yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Keep, he has many hits on GoogleBooks and several on GoogleNews citing his as an expert and quoting his books. I have added 3 references to the article and there are many more out there. J04n(talk page) 22:57, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. In Google news archive, I find only a few trivial mentions of him and a very brief review of one of his books in the New York Daily News [1]. I don't think that's enough for WP:GNG, and I don't see the evidence of substantial scholarly impact needed to pass WP:PROF#C1. But he undoubtedly exists, has written some books, and is occasionally cited as an expert for them. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
