Doesn’t seem to meet WP:ACADEMIC. _signed, SpringProof ^talk 00:17, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Evo-psych is a high-citation field but still I think his citation counts [1] are enough for WP:PROF#C1. He holds a personal chair at the University of Edinburgh, possibly enough for #C5. He is a Fellow of the British Academy [2], a clear pass of #C3. And multiple reviews of multiple books [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] give him another case for notability through WP:AUTHOR. I don't know what WP:BEFORE the nominator tried to produce this WP:VAGUEWAVE towards our notability guidelines but it wasn't enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also member of Academia Europaea [10] is another pass of WP:PROF#C3. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:59, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as above. Nominator deserves a trout for this inept nomination. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:47, 22 January 2025 (UTC).[reply]
• Keep: Meets WP:NACADEMIC and WP:AUTHOR per above. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Appears to hold an established chair rather than a personal chair, so meets WP:NACADEMIC #5. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:24, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Unambiguously passes NPROF C3 via his Academia Europaea membership, and I would agree that he passes C1 and C5 as well. Botterweg (talk) 21:23, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
