Short BLP created by an experienced editor. Tagged for notability as part of a NPP in JULY 2024, no improvements made. Nothing in the page or that I can find which proves notability. Certainly not WP:NPROF, reviews of books are in science journals so do not support WP:AUTHOR. Delete unless someone can edit to demonstrate notability. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- Weak keep. I do not know of any policy or guideline that says science journals are not periodicals for WP:NAUTHOR purposes. I see four substantial reviews of authored work, plus one of edited work, which I think is (weakly) enough. The lifetime achievement award helps support.

- Weak keep (as nomination I am changing my opinion). The lifetime achievement award is exactly what should have been in the original article to demonstrate that his peers recognise him as notable. It was not in the article when notability was questioned, only added after the AfD, and did not show up on my Google search. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:28, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
