Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Dryer
Agree with Nomoskedasticity. Meets  criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). Citation impact http://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_sauthors=%22Matthew+S.+Dryer%22 indicates notability (this is slightly different from the one obtained by Nomoskedasticity, but essentially the same conclusion). Article definitely needs rewriting, and should indeed be reduced to a stub for future growth
