Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter Dewitte
I think this is one of those cases where relying only on h-index is not a good idea. Dewitte works in a field with fairly high publication speeds and citation rates. For such a field the h-index of 18 is pretty good but is not yet, IMO, in the region establishing unquestionable notability. Most of his papers with high citations in GoogleScholar are papers with a significant number of co-authors. The one exception appears to be this paperhttp://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.arplant.54.031902.134836 with James Murray, who according to the article's text, was his supervisor at Cambridge (the article says  "He carried out this work at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom under the guidance of Professor Jim Murray"). In such cases I try to look for some secondary indicators of notability - such as giving plenary talks at important conferences, getting substantial grants, awards, journal editorships etc. I just could not find any of that here, not even significant evidence of giving invited hour talks. His position at Cardiff as "Senior Research Associate" appears to be a non-permanent position to me, presumably funded by some-one's grant. I could not find his CV or information about his educational background (e.g. when and where he received his PhD). Under such circumstances I do not think that the citability data in googlescholar carries enough weight to pass
