It is clear that he satisfies  on the basis of citations alone. This is enough to satisfy , to presume notability, even if substantial sources ''about'' him are absent - i.e. if he does not satisfy the |GNG.  In such a case (not saying this is one) what we can say is limited, but not vacuous: in addition to things from his university, we can at least include a bibliography, which does not need to be externally sourced, as it sources itself
