The article lacks sufficient independent sourcing to demonstrate that Mr. Evans meets the requirements of the general notability guidelines and the subject specific notability guidelines for academics. It has previously been speedily deleted under G11, however it does not read as unambiguous promotion, and I think it's likely Mr. Evans does meet WP:NPROF - the article just doesn't show it. Please note this is a procedural nomination on my part - I am not !voting either keep or delete at this time, and I have done limited WP:BEFORE. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 16:48, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - for me this is short on independent references and I'm concerned about the undeclared COI. To be fair to the article creator, who's a student, some of the shortcomings could be attributed to inadequate instruction. Deb (talk) 17:42, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Assistant professors are usually WP:TOOSOON for academic notability and this does not seem to be an exception. In particular the citation record [1] does not yet pass WP:PROF#C1 and the minor student awards and fellowships do not pass #C2. If this is a student project, the instructor should have cautioned the students very strongly to pay attention to our academic notability guidelines when creating articles. There are plenty of people who pass those criteria but do not have articles (fellows of major academic societies, for instance); there is no need to lower our standards to find worthy topics of new articles. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:45, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above comment: WP:Too soon to pass WP:Prof in a very highly cited field. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]
Leaning delete. I tend to agree that WP:PROF is not met despite the one fairly highly cited paper which has 11 co-authors (139,78,43,34,24); it is a very citation-heavy field. With a PhD in 2016 I think this is probably too early in the subject's career. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:16, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
