Non-notable assistant professor at Berkeley. There are 4 book mentions at Google Books and one at Google News. Not sure, this is enough. Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:10, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This guy has been author on several relatively recent papers with 1,000+ citations (Google Scholar stats). While I don't see an official metric on what the WP:NACADEMIC standards are for "highly-cited," I would say he meets Criterion 1 of the specific criteria.

User:Roleren I am a master student in bioinformatics, and this guy have changed our field, he deserves an article, and have more then enough citations on google scholar, dont you think ? I understand why it should not be here, but should wikipedia only be a place for famous dead guys known to everybody ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roleren (talk • contribs) 12:26, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete the issue is not being "highly cited" but being impactful, and the evidence does not show that Ingolia is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:05, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete He has published many articles, some with 2000 citations, however, he is only an assistant professor, and seems quite young. No features discussing his contribution I could see. Deathlibrarian (talk) 12:12, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Two first-author papers with over 1000 cites each are enough for WP:PROF#C1 for me, regardless of his academic rank. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A GS h-index of 33, over 10,000 citations total, 3 publications in the major journals with over 1,000 citations apiece, and two of those are first-author... passes WP:PROF#C1. Coverage in National Geographic and The Scientist wouldn't be enough by itself, but it doesn't hurt [1][2]. He's also a 2011 Searle Scholar [3] and a 2014 recipient of an NIH Director's New Innovator Award [4]. Oh, and he's on a peer-review committee for the American Cancer Society, which isn't as prestigious as, e.g., being editor-in-chief of a journal, but it ought to be worth mentioning somewhere [5]. Basically, earlier-career scientists can still be notable, titles notwithstanding. XOR'easter (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• keep The number of citations and h-index convince me he's notable in his field, regardless of his rank at Berkeley. The article is pretty sparse, but that's not the issue here.Sandals1 (talk) 16:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I normally abhor fussing over citation counts in notability discussions, but this case seems to be a pretty well cited author. Enough for a stub at least. Kingofaces43 (talk) 05:33, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep -- meets WP:PROF; the article is an acceptable stub at this point. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:34, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
