This is a truly bizarre AfD debate both for its length and passion. Afds of subjects with research achievements are determined on the basis of Wikipedia policy rof as interpreted by consensus of editors. By looking at such debates over the past few years one finds consensus that rof#C1 is satisfied by impact of independent citations measured by citation count. In regard to numbers, the precedent seems that to clearly satisfy rof#C1 400-1000 citations in the research literature are usually needed with an h index of greater than 15.
