conflict of interest edit
Most of the work on this page was done by an account called "Lab for Social Research," which is the name of the subject's organization. This seems like a pretty clear conflict of interest, as this page was created (and frequently edited & augmented) for self-promotional purposes.

Notability edit
Hey, User:David Eppstein, could you explain how exactly Willer passes WP:PROF? It's not immediately clear to me. Moreover, where are the necessary high quality RS? Thanks, ~ HAL333 19:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- What necessary high quality RS? WP:PROF does not require in-depth media publicity stories, unlike some other notability guidelines.
- As for WP:PROF, look at his Google Scholar profile (bottom left link in authority control box). Look at WP:PROF#C1. Look at his profile again. The part you should be looking at in the profile are the "cited by" numbers. Typically we pass academics who have multiple publications with three-digit citation counts. Maybe one would need more than that in psychology, as it is typically a field where the citation counts are high, but he has much more than that, multiple publications with four-digit counts.
- Put another way, Google Scholar claims that there are approximately 20,000 published sources about Willer's work. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:40, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
