Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Flood
Our relevant notability guideline in the case of this article is |wp:academic, at least one criteria of which appears to be satisfied here (the first, that the subject of the article has made a "significant impact in their scholarly discipline").  It's also worth pointing out the subject appears to be widely quoted in their field, at least according to a quick Google News archive search.  That said, the subject of the article is the person apparently requesting deletion here, but for all the wrong reasons, so I'll address the next part directly to him...  What you are bringing up are issues that can be addressed under |wp:blp and particularly |wp:undue.  The best course would be to outline your specific concerns on the article's talk page or even create a draft of how you believe the article should read and post it to the article's talk page.  We can go from there, but deletion isn't the proper (or justified) course of action, and I hope you'll reconsider and work with us to address your concerns
