Deletion of Nicholas de Genova

Comment: Marginal for rof#C1 with an h-index of 11, may pass rof#C5 (although this claim seems rather weak) and some  for reactions to his extreme views

Comment: in my view he does not meet .  The visiting position in Amsterdam doesn't do it, and his h-index is less than 11 (Xxanthippe has apparently overlooked some overlap in the GS entries).  There is, then, insufficient evidence of his notability as an academic.  The coverage given here to the comments he made that led to "notoriety" undermines the case for an article; at the very least, there is  weight on them at present, and given his lack of notability as an academic I am persuaded by the BLP1E argument

Comment: mdash; ok, the more i think about it, the more i am convinced that while a high h-index is sufficent for satisfying wp:prof#1, it can't actually be necessary.  this guy has a book with 271 cites.  if he had 11 papers with 11 cites each, his h-index would still be 11, and yet these are quite different cases.  look at e.g. Frank Ramsey Frank P. Ramsey, with a http://interaction.lille.inria.fr/~roussel/projects/scholarindex/index.cgi?btnG=Search+Scholar&as_sauthors=fp+ramsey&as_subj=bus&as_subj=eng&as_q=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&x_minr=&as_occt=any&hl=en&lr= GS h-index of 11 (possibly because he died at 26), who wrote one of the most influential papers in the history of combinatorics, as well as seminal work in economics.  in fact, GS possibly overstates his h-index, because it has the combinatorics paper listed under a bunch of different titles and seems to be counting it separately.  sure, so ramsey died at 26, but what if he'd stopped doing academic work at 26 and went on to become the most hated professor in america?  all these arguments would work towards the clearly wrong conclusion that his article should be deleted.  i am ''not'' arguing  here, but trying to illustrate why i think that the argument "low h-index implies fails wp:prof#1" is not a useful one without some more nuanced discussion.  &mdash
