The subject is an Associate Professor. Not notable under WP:PROF or WP:GNG. A series of general references provided which mention the subject in passing but do not establish notability.Dan arndt (talk) 02:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP notability guidelines, could not find any reliable secondary sources to suggest improvement. ABF99 (talk) 04:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Mathematics is a low-citation field, but the subject works in a corner of it that is not well appreciated even by mathematicians (finite geometries) and has only three papers with double-digit citations. And despite its governor's predations Wisconsin–Madison, is still a good school, but associate professor is not enough to indicate notability, and the subject's actual affiliation appears to be at the lesser Whitewater campus. So WP:PROF#C1 seems out of reach, #C5 is definitely not on, and what else is there? —David Eppstein (talk) 07:02, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
