Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Daly (scientist)

Does not meet WP:ACADEMIC, only source provided lacks independence from the subject, no substantive coverage in suitable sources to verify notability. KDS4444 (talk) 04:56, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Daly led the team that developed Haploview. He was also heavily involved with Genehunter software development. His research in genetics is widely cited. Because his name is so common, a very careful search is required to separate the wheat from the chaff. This stub should be expanded rather than being deleted.

Comment Haploview— looks borderline notable; Genehunter has (as yet) no Wikipedia article at all. While I recognize the difficulty in identifying the specific "Mark Daly" who is the subject of this article, claiming that "sources must exist" is one of the arguments to avoid in a deletion discussion, yes? Is there wheat? Where is it? KDS4444 (talk) 09:01, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Whether or not a specific one of his research projects has a Wikipedia article is utterly irrelevant as to whether or not this scientist is notable. The sources that confirm his notability under WP:ACADEMIC do exist, and you would have seen them if you had searched for them as recommended by WP:BEFORE. Why don't you report back to us how often this scientist's published research is cited by other scientists? Once you do that, I predict that you will withdraw your nomination. Thank you.
