Talk:Neil Cohn#AfD nomination

I have nominated this page for deletion via AFD, but as I am not a registered user I can't create the deletion page; per the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO, I am posting the deletion rationale here:

This individual is an excellent scientist but does not yet meet WP's criteria for notability; neither the general notability guideline nor the specific guidelines for academics. There are a couple independent news sources covering his work (this is not uncommon in science news, given the influence of university press releases, although admittedly the two sources cited in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neil_Cohn&oldid=651466976 current version of the article] do focus more on Cohn himself than is typical in these kinds of articles) but they are not enough to constitute significant coverage or to meet any of the WP:NACADEMICS criteria. The rest of the sources are his own scholarly papers, which don't constitute independent demonstration of notability of the author himself. The article was created by a single-purpose account which I suspect was a research assistant or lab manager assigned to create this page, which would explain why it reads like an advertisement. (Also note that this nomination is not related to a previous nomination which was started, but never completed, in 2014 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neil_Cohn&diff=636795776&oldid=606683542]).
