Nominate for deletion Seems to fail WP:PROF. Could find nothing form Ghits and article to prove notability. Boleyn (talk) 19:17, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

  • keep -- h-index of at least 14, a gbooks search with the added term Mozambique indicates several thousand hits, and there is no shortage of news hits either. The nom's inability to find sources is puzzling to say the least. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:10, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. Four hits in GS with over 100 cites. Plenty in GN. A seriously mistaken nomination. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:31, 9 October 2011 (UTC).

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Keep. In Google scholar, two of the top five hits for Mozambique are his works. That, even more than the high citation counts, convinces me that he is one of the world's leading experts on the subject and passes WP:PROF#C1. He has a good case for criterion C7 as being frequently quoted in the media regarding Mozambique. And there are many nontrivial published reviews of his works e.g. [http://www.iol.co.za/news/africa/learning-the-lessons-of-mozambique-s-flood-1.63976] [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4186810] [http://www.jstor.org/stable/723134] [http://www.jstor.org/stable/40202483] [http://www.jstor.org/stable/2637275] [http://www.jstor.org/stable/3601552], giving us plenty of source material to say something about what he's done. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:36, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
