Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Somos
I was in the same quandary as Agricola44 regarding this. The subject has a grand total of 18 citations on HPoP, with an h-index of 2. Yet, the term “Somos sequence” has 329 citations and an h-index of 11, also on HPoP. And I wouldn’t be surprised if different searches for ideas by the subject would uncover many more hits. In other words, the idea (or ideas) lives on and is cited, but not with reference to its originator or the original article. I guess some great mathematicians who have WP articles (e.g., Niels Henrik Abel, admittedly from another era) have low citations and h-indexes, but when one looks at citations to their ideas, they are much, much higher. Bottom line: I think the subject meets  criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed), although in an unorthodox way
