Dear @Cabrils,
Thank you very much for your quick review and feedback on my Wikipedia article. I appreciate your advice on how to edit the article to make it qualify for publication.
Best regards, @Wormpicker62 Wormpicker62 (talk) 00:29, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
No worries! Let me know when you feel it's ready for another review. Cabrils (talk) 12:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Dear @Cabrils
Thanks again for reviewing my draft article on Professor Lucus Andrew Staehelin.  After reviewing the criteria for notability of academics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) ), I have some questions for you in light of the guideline that “Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable.”:
1.  The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
Several of the citations (9, 15) are independent scientific articles and reviews that cite Professor Staehelin’s contributions to the field.  Of course, the hundreds or thousands of scientific citations, reflected in Staehelin’s H-index, also attest to his significant impact in his field.
2.  The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
The five awards that I cited are highly prestigious national or international honors, particularly the German National Academy of Sciences membership, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Fellow of the American Society of Plant Physiologists.
8.  The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.
I am still researching whether Dr. Staehelin has served as editor-in-chief of academic journals.  He has served as editor or co-editor of several key books in his field, such as:
Plant Cell Walls, by Peter Albersheim, Alan Darvill, Keith Roberts, Ron Sederoff, Andrew Staehelin
https://www.routledge.com/Plant-Cell-Walls/Albersheim-Darvill-Roberts-Sederoff-Staehelin/p/book/9780815319962
Photosynthesis III: Photosynthetic Membranes and Light Harvesting Systems
by L. Andrew Staehelin (Editor), Charles J. Arntzen (Editor)
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-70936-4
Could you please advise me on how I can more thoroughly document or highlight these criteria in my article to fulfill the notability requirement?  Thanks again. Wormpicker62 (talk) 17:09, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • @Wormpicker62: Good work progressing the draft. I will have a look this week and respond. 06:03, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Many thanks, @Cabrils. In addition to listing the notability criteria in my previous message I have now cited additional secondary references--review articles--that independently document Staehelin's scientific contributions described in the article. Namely, I've added references 3, 4, 5, 6, and 21. I have also added requested references for Staehelin's birth date and time at Harvard University. Thanks again for your time and work helping me with this draft. Wormpicker62 (talk) 20:49, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
    That's good work. The page now makes clear that he passes Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Please go ahead and submit the page and I'd be happy to approve it. Just an incidental note: the page is still very heavy on references that are not Wikipedia:Reliable sources, they are primary sources written by Staehelin. Strictly speaking they should not be permitted, however in the context of the page as a whole they are "OK" (because of the other evidence supporting his notability like fellowship of the AAAS etc) but that's why it's helpful/important to add as many true independent RS as possible. Those review articles you've added are also helpful (and establish Staehelin's work has "had a significant impact in his scholarly discipline") but any articles in the general press would be welcome additions. Once the page is live I'll have a look and would encourage you to also--these pages are always a work in progress! Again, well done and your collaborative approach is to be commended.

    Thanks so much, @Cabrils! This has certainly been an interesting learning experience for me. I hope this will be just my first of many contributions to Wikipedia. A really appreciate all your help and advice, and will work to continue improving the article. I've resubmitted it. Wormpicker62 (talk) 21:51, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Good on you Wormpicker! I hope so, it can be very rewarding. Feel free to ping me with any future submissions or questions generally. All the best. Cabrils (talk) 22:05, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
    You might consider adding a section "Selected bibliography" as a way of incorporating his books and his more significant articles. Cabrils (talk) 22:15, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Great idea. That's a good way to delineate those citations from the secondary citations about his life and work. Thanks. Wormpicker62 (talk) 22:20, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
