Normally productive but apparently undistinguished (in the WP:GNG and WP:PROF senses) geologist and palaeontologist. I can find nothing that would demonstrate recognized extraordinary contributions to the field, honours or appointments received, etc. Some works (e.g. his book on ambers of Jordan [1]) are reasonably cited, but encyclopedia-level notability does not seem present. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. His Google Scholar profile indicates that he has a decent number of cited publications, though I make no judgment to his academic notability in my comment. Madeleine (talk) 17:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Citation count is okay, but I don't think it's enough for WP:NPROF#C1 and I don't see any indication he could meet any of the other NPROF criteria. I wasn't able to find any of the reviews of his book that would be necessary to meet WP:NAUTHOR. He's discovered some species, but as far as I know that doesn't count towards notability on its own, so not seeing much of a case for notability. MCE89 (talk) 23:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a low-citation field but even so a single-digit h-index and double-digit max citation counts on Google Scholar aren't enough to use WP:PROF#C1. Publishing and naming things (the only scholarly activity described in the article) is normal enough for someone in this field but not something that can be used directly as an argument for notability. His book Amber of Jordan has at least one published review [2] but I didn't find any reviews of Fossils of the Harrana fauna. One reviewed book isn't going to be enough for WP:AUTHOR and one review isn't even enough to make an article on the book and redirect to it. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:06, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
