- Keep. Prod was declined with comment: "Contest; clearly notable". Winner of the 2008 Sidney Powers Memorial Award as stated in the article, with reference to his obituary by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Has highly cited publications, appears to have been the first to suggest natural gas could be recovered from solid rock. StarryGrandma (talk) 08:05, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, I declined the prod because he clearly meets WP:NPROF criteria 1 and 2, and possibly 3, 6, and 7 as well. Υπογράφω (talk) 16:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. The article clearly documents academic notability for the subject, as described above, and has 12 references listed. The nomination appears to be motivated solely by the fact that the references are not inline. AfD is not for cleanup. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:44, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Speedy keep The subject evidently meets WP:PROF. The article needs cleanup (I noticed some repeated text, for example), but that's not what AfD is for. XOR'easter (talk) 22:24, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Speedy keep, also per NPROF. In addition to the Sidney Powers Memorial Award, criterion 3 is fulfilled with fellowship to the Geological Society of America. Rhinopias (talk) 01:27, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
