Deletion of David L. Richards

Comment: per criteria 1 of . His work was critiqued and the main subject of the peer reviewed article "Response to David L. Richards", by Ann Marie Clark and Kathryn Sikkink, ''Human Rights Quarterly'', May, 2016, Vol.38(2), p.493-496. There he was acknowledged for playing a critical role in maintaining the CIRI Human Rights Data Project, although it was critical of some of his interpretations of that data set in published peer reviewed journals. His work was also the central focus of the journal article ''Seeing Double: Human Rights Impact through Qualitative and Quantitative Eyes'', Hafner-Burton, Emilie ; Ron, James, ''World Politics'', 2009, Vol.61(2), pp.360-401. He has over 60 published peer reviewed journal articles in my university library, and there are many many more that cite his research. There are also three books to which he is a contributing author in my university library

Comment: There is probably a case here for passing #C1, based on GScholar citation results. However, there do not seem to be any other significant indicators of notability, and, since the subject has requested deletion in the AN thread linked above, I think we should respect his wishes here. Perhaps a redirect to CIRI Human Rights Data Project can be created afterwards
