Notability

I believe Donald Voet satisfies criterion #4 of WP:PROF: The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions. Voet is the lead author of widely-used biochemistry text books. Given the popularity of the textbook, he also satisfies criterion #1 of WP:AUTHOR because this book is widely cited. He is also editor-in-chief of a journal, although this may not satisfy criterion #8, as it is a relatively new journal.

One of the references cited in the intro states, "Donald and Judy Voet are already well known for their highly successful student textbook, Biochemistry, now in its second edition." pg 409 Trends in Biomedical Sciences vol 24 issue 10. This reference states "They have also co-authored the seminal textbook Biochemistry, now in its third edition, and Fundamentals of Biochemistry, along with Charlotte Pratt, now in its third edition."
