No obvious indication of meeting WP:GNG or WP:NPROF. Tagged for notability since 2021. As typical with people involved in high-energy experiments, he has a huge number of articles (Inspire-HEP lists 2388). But articles from such experiments typically have a very long author list and it is not possible to distinguish individual contributions. Inspire-HEP also allows filtering for papers with 10 authors or less. This list includes 16 papers with very few citations. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 07:35, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Delete - I concur with the nomination and PianoDan, there is no clear indication of notability. Neither in the article nor is there any media coverage of him to indicate that he may pass WP:NPROF. Doesnt pass the average professor test. Being part of a large collaboration is not enough for NPROF. --hroest 14:19, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Particle physics is often hard to judge from citations because there are many papers with both huge numbers of coauthors and huge numbers of citations and it's hard to tell how to count these. In this case searching for author:b-stugu finds exactly that. (Including his first name for specificity doesn't work because there are so many authors that they limit names to initials to save space.) So we need either well-cited first-author papers, or some form of external recognition that would help us sort it out. Here we appear to have neither. The best I found was a single-author paper with single-digit citations, "Summary on tau leptonic branching ratios and universality". As hroest says, having a small part in a large collaboration is not enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:57, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. As David Eppstein explains above, the citability record here is insufficiently convincing to indicate notability. The subject's CV[1] does not appear to contain any other information that would indicate passing WP:PROF on other grounds, such as journal editorships, awards, honors, etc. Nsk92 (talk) 12:52, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
