Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Cain (historian of science)
GoogleScholar is well known to provide inadequate data for citations in humanities ( explicitly mentions this point). I am not saying that the article should be kept (I have not had time to look at the case carefully), but for a historian one would have to check notability using different tools (googlebooks, worldcat, reviews of his writings, book and journal editorships (if any), awards etc). Such a check is harder to make but I would not necessarily interpret goglescholar data in this case as a significant indication that the subject is not notable
