• I guess my question for others is whether having played a key role in discovering or "describing" several extinct species would meet criterion #1 of WP:NACADEMIC. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:04, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
• Delete, I can't find any sources on the subject or citations to his work. The [http://als.univ-lorraine.fr/Bulletins/Tome39/delsate39.pdf paper cited in the article] describes him as a private collector rather than a professional palaeontologist. – Joe (talk) 15:48, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
• Delete. Two papers with single-digit citation counts do not amount to academic notability, even in the low-citation world of taxonomy. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:38, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
• Delete as WP:Too soon. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:23, 12 August 2017 (UTC).
• Delete. Agree with David Eppstein. Nothing really passes even the lower bars of WP:PROF, even considering that taxonomy can be an overlooked field. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:08, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
