Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amer Iqbal
To me the citation counts are enough for , despite being on the low side compared to the average for :Category:String theorists. But more than cite counts (which can mean many things, and are hard to calibrate from one field to another) I prefer considerations of whether we can find multiple specific important research contributions that can be attributed to the subject. In Iqbal's case there is M-theory#Mysterious duality and some work on crystal melting in Topological string theory. (We also cite him in Del Pezzo surface but in that one I have no clear statement that he made an important contribution to the subject.) That seems like enough to convince me that he has indeed made an impact as criterion #C1 asks. I don't give a lot of weight to requests from the subject, especially in this case where we're not even given a reason for the request
