Deletion of Mohamed Gad-el-Hak

Comment: as an obvious pass of  criteria 1 (citation profile), 3 (Fellow of the APS would be enough), and 5 (named chair). I have made a first attempt to edit the page for tone, so that it reads more like an encyclopedia article and less like a biographical blurb for a keynote speaker

Comment: Fellow of the APS (verifiable https://engage.aps.org/dfd/home here) and of the ASME (https://community.asme.org/members/mohamedgadelhak076/default.aspx here) are definitely passes of #3. AAAS is more debatable but I would think it counts too. I'm less familiar with the other ones but I expect some of them are also passes. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=0EHeMUkAAAAJ His citation record is also a clear pass of #1, and his named professorship at VCU is an obvious pass of #5. Speedy because the nomination seems to be based purely on personal opinion, bad-faith assumptions, and the wrong notability guideline ( instead of ). Incidentally, even if you were looking for GNG-like coverage, you should have at least found "https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/fluidsengineering/article/142/7/070201/1082725/Homage-to-a-Legendary-Dynamicist-on-His-Seventy Homage to a Legendary Dynamicist on His Seventy-Fifth Birthday", about Gad-el-Hak, in the ''Journal of Fluids Engineering

Comment: possibly snow, per multiple  criteria.  The citation record looks like C1, even in a high citation field, and the several fellow appointments to learned societies are a pass of C3.  Comment that although it's not automatic, academics that get an article celebrating their nth birthday or retirement are very likely to be notable per C1 (a festschrift volume is an unambiguous pass).  VCU should be a major institution for C5, and the anniversary article is a reliable source for the named chair (which, by the way, he no longer seems to hold).  The article surely had/has numerous problems, and it is understandable that the nominator wanted clarification on notability before putting in further cleanup work

Comment: Do any of the societies listed on his https://www.people.vcu.edu/~gadelhak/vita.htm CV get him past  #3? I don't know science. NPROF #5 also looks relevant, but I'm not sure about the prominence of his institution

Comment: per #3; if I understood well, the nominator proposed deletion more like a  (here's not the place?), rather than to dispute its notability. The subject's citations are enough to establish a very clear notability per #C1
