  • Comment: Please use a neutral tone, for example avoiding statements like "has significantly impacted" or "a remarkable individual". Broc (talk) 17:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The sources are primary and thus unable to establish notability per WP:GNG. There is nothing in the draft that would obviously satisfy WP:NACADEMIC, either, although the h-index of 66 does sound pretty good (albeit that it isn't actually mentioned anywhere in the draft). Declining for now, hoping that some more tangible evidence of notability is revealed. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:42, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: We don't refer to people by first name only; please change to full name, last name only, or personal pronoun. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:38, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
