• Delete close to (and might be) an A7 speedy. WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 02:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Nothing asserts nobility in the article. Cobra 05:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
• It is difficult to judge the notability for academics, but I'll settle for delete on this one, for the following reasons: a. He is a full professor and head of department, but at a institution which appears to offer nothing higher than a master's degree in his field.[1]. b. I can only find 19 hits on Google Scholar (search for "R Celmer" OR "RD Celmer" OR "Robert Celmer")[2]. c. The same search on Google Books gets no hits.[3] d. No hits in the Library of Congress catalogue. I may also add that his PhD thesis from 1982 [4] seems to be unpublished, but I am not sure how important that is in a U.S. context, as it seems to be common that American dissertations are available only on microfilm. u p p l a n d 08:38, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I am inclined to keep professors and the like, but Dr. Celmer appears to miss the bar per the research by u p p l a n d. Movementarian 10:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

• Are his articles in Scholar cited by others very often? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:51, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Looking at Google Scholar again, I notice that I seem to have overestimated his total number of hits. A few of those "R Celmer" are actually by other people called "R [initial] Celmer" and in other fields, such as metallurgy. As for cites: if I understand this correctly, the top one is cited thrice. Of the others belonging to the right Celmer, none have any cites noted. I'm sure one could dig deeper into this with looking in other databases. u p p l a n d 13:03, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Borderline speedy anyway. I'm closing this one. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 23:41, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
