at request of subject despite excellent sourcing. Google scholar gives cites 318, 107, 86, 82 etc, with an h-index of 19. For most areas of physics this would lead to a pass of rof#1. However in the area that the subject works in, fundamental physics, citation rates tend to be high (for example a Google Scholar search for Michael Duff (physicist) (as M J Duff) returns cites of 776, 609, 384, 336, 328...etc. and a search for Lee Smolin gives cites of 771, 712, 544, 514, 468, 434 ...etc. Therefore notability could perhaps be considered to be borderline and there can be no harm in acceding to the request of the subject to delete. It may be that more people are coming to perceive Wikipedia as a tacky area of the web that they would rather not be associated with
