Comment: David has already pointed-out the notability via highly-cited works, the very heart of  c1. The GS citation list is: 469, 446, 311, 219, 219, 217, 210...for an h-index of 39. Of course, notability of an individual is independent of whether a WP article describing the individual does an adequate job of documenting this aspect. Seems that the shortcoming is in the article, not the individual. This article is certain to be kept, as the proof is conclusive. Might be good form for the nom to withdraw AfD to save other eds' valuable time
