*'''Comment'''. I am not going to support this BLP until an explanation is available for the unusual GS citation record and the [[research paper mill|retractions]] [[User:Xxanthippe|Xxanthippe]] ([[User talk:Xxanthippe|talk]]) 02:41, 27 August 2024 (UTC).

*:@[[User:Xxanthippe|Xxanthippe]], I'd be curious what you make of what I found below in academic databases. This is definitely an odd situation outside the "norm" of already iffy measures of notability by citation metrics, but I just get more questions than answers as I dig.

* '''Comment''': It seems to me that the subject has notability, albeit not verified by the references. If they have somehow falsified data (etc) and thus retracted papers, then that fact, if in sufficient volume, is likely to confer notability, also notoriety. This should be recorded in the very stubby article. Otherwise their papers appear at first sight to have sufficient citations themselves to qualify under [[WP:NACADEMIC]]. I note the comments in the link provided by the nom, and feel they may indicate 'lack of scientific rigour'. I leave this as a comment rather than a !vote because I do not feel able to reach a conclusion on this. 🇺🇦&nbsp;[[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>^{<small>Timtrent</small>}]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>^{<small>Talk&nbsp;to&nbsp;me</small>}]]&nbsp;🇺🇦 07:36, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

*:I propose to proceed with deletion at this time. One retraction is quite weak to imply notability / notoriety of the subject, and references to their [[PubPeer]] record are contestable through [[WP:NOR]].
