• Keep: The article needs more sourcing, but Coppinger plausibly meets the first criteria of The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. based on
  • "The Coppingers are prominent figures in the canine science world"
  • "The Coppingers have been major figures in canine science for decades."
  • "Raymond Coppinger, a founding professor of Hampshire College and noted canine science researcher"

• Keep per above. I think I made a mistake in titling the article. Perhaps I should have used "Raymond Coppinger" instead of "Ray Coppinger"? I imagine more of his academic research is under Raymond. Thriley (talk) 18:10, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
