Non-notable academic that has no overlap with the University of Maryland page. Yedaman54 (talk)

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2024 December 23. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 06:09, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: On the surface, as a redirect this would be the wrong venue as being in the purview of RfD and not AfD. However, this also appears to be the contesting of a bold BLAR from 2016, with the rationalenon notable on its own since 2008. Another user tried to blank the redirect in 2018, with a similar rationale to the nominator here. Given that, I'm not sure if a procedural close and immediate RfD is warranted, or if the fact this is actually a second contesting of the BLAR means the pre-2016 article contents should be restored and the AfD continuing from there.

Restore pre-2016 contents and keep. He passes WP:PROF: #C1 through high citations [1], #C3 through being "Fellow of the IEEE, ASME, and AIMBE", #C5 through holding the G.P. "Bud" Peterson and Valerie H. Peterson Faculty Professorship in Pediatric Research, and #C8 through being founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Medical Robotics Research (for all of these see [2]; the journal is published by World Scientific, a reputable journal publisher). I'm not sure how many others of these were the case in 2016 but the ASME Fellow title, at least, dates to 2015 [3]. In any case redirecting an individual biography to the main article on an entire university, as User:K.e.coffman did then, would only make sense for the person the university is named after, not for some random faculty member. Especially as, in this case, he has long since moved to another university. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:15, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Restore article & keep. GS citations are high[4] (1733, 1532, 1110, 633, 546 with a further twenty above 100), also the IEEE fellowship is accepted as passing PROF#3, and the Cardiovascular Biomedical Engineering Distinguished Chair[5] may well meet #5 as well. ETA: The IEEE fellowship is confirmed here: [6] Espresso Addict (talk) 01:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
