Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allan Boardman
impressive though the fellowships look, if one digs, it turns out the ones mentioned in the article are as part of U.K. associations, not the international type that would more likely meet #C1. The SPIE recognition is as plain "Fellow member", which is the lowest rank and covers a good thousand people (http://spie.org/x38.xml see here). Likewise there is no reliable claim to major editorship; the subject no longer features on the board linked in the article http://www.opticsinfobase.org/josab/journal/josab/about.cfm#board and here, and the wording of the link implies that what this was for plain membership on the editorial board, not editorship-in-chief. The citation record is too weak to otherwise pass , and the actual "faculty page" http://www.salford.ac.uk/computing-science-engineering/cse-academics/allan-boardman here is all but empty, signifying an insignificant career in the absence of evidence of a stronger track record during previous employment. Finally, there is no coverage to assert . This is typical of BLPs that look impressive based on big words and fancy-sounding honors, and deflate into non-Wikiworthiness once probed
