Notability

@Fanboyphilosopher: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates.” please do so, I’m not seeing any extremely highly cited works on google scholar nor am I seeing a substantial number over 100 citations (I see a half dozen). Perhaps that is a lot considering the circumstances, I don’t have much expertise in Paleontology. What would you say is significant for this area?

Yes, 100 on one paper is substantial and 100 on 6 is very substantial. Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 22:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify, the criteria is "extremely high” or “significant” with substantial referring to a quantity of articles with significant citation rates. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:36, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vertebrate Paleontology only has about 2,000 active academics and is a relatively low citation field. It is likely that he passes NAUTHOR, as he has written The Armored Dinosaurs (Life of the Past) and Eggs, Nests, and Baby Dinosaurs: A Look at Dinosaur Reproduction (Life of the Past) and edited Dinosaur Systematics: Approaches and Perspectives and Dinosaur Eggs and Babies which have been reviewed in various publications, Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hemiauchenia: Thanks for the input, that is almost an order of magnitude smaller than I thought the field was. Based on that and the book reviews I withdraw my notability objections. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:47, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
