Does not meet : “The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline ... as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. ... The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly-cited academic work.” '''Web of Science''' records 15 articles by Richard M Waugaman on Shakespeare, de Vere, or authorship, with 10 citations. But only 4 of these citations are by scholars other than Waugaman himself. The other 6 are self-citations, and 9 of these papers have never been cited at all. His two Kindle books are self-published by his own Oxfreudian vanity press. His so-called title, “Faculty Expert on Shakespeare for Media Contacts at Georgetown University” is self-assumed. The only requirement for this informal role is a willingness to be contacted: https://uis.georgetown.edu/web-services/explore-documentation/faculty-information-explore/include-your-profile-in-the-faculty-experts-guide
