Fails WP:PROF. 1) No indication of significant impact on their field of work. 2) No highly prestigious award. 3) Not a fellow or a "distinguished" professor. 4) Per point 1. 5) No major offices held. 6) Per point 5. 7) No indication of general notability. 8) Not a head of a major, well-established publication - note Associate Editor, not Editor. 9) Does not meet WP:NAUTHOR as his books have received little attention from independent, reliable sources. All nine points of WP:PROF failed, delete. DrStrauss talk 15:19, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. This seems a borderline case to me, a fairly typical and successful scholar but not one who stands out in any way. He has two books (not counting the two edited volumes) but I only found one review for each, not enough for the low bar of WP:AUTHOR, and in this area I think it is books rather than highly-cited journal papers that are more relevant. Managing editor of Strategies is not the same as editor-in-chief. Our article inaccurately said he is an associate professor; actually he was promoted to full professor in 2007 but that is not a notability criterion. So basically, I can't find a strong argument that he passes any notability criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:59, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Doesn't meet GNG and a Gscholar check was not promising. L3X1 (distænt write) 16:19, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
