There is an insufficient amount of independent reliable source material for this topic. The topic does not meet notability. The original poster would not object to the article being deleted.[1] Also see WP:COIN. -- Jreferee t/c 14:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep This scientist has been awarded the The Humboldt Prize, which is a prize of the same calibre as the Nobel Prize. The article needed to be expanded and updated with sources, wikified, and re-written in places. scope_creep (talk) 15:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is definitely not the Humboldt Prize. It (the Humboldt-Mutis Research Award) seems to be an award specifically given to celebrate cooperation between Germany and Spain in research. --Dhartung | Talk 19:01, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Extremely impressive citation record. It's not clear to me that the Humboldt award he received is the same as the Humboldt Prize that scope_creep speaks of, but regardless the article documents with appropriate reliable sources the recognition his peers have given him. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, appears to satisfy WP:PROFTEST. --Dhartung | Talk 19:01, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Most cited paper has over 400 citations. Ten papers with more than 200 citations each, according to Web of Science. If one didn't have access, Google Scholar would have shown the same. Notability way beyond the average physicist. Distinguished but apparently over-modest subject. like many scientists. DGG (talk) 20:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep per David Eppstein & DGG. Pete.Hurd (talk) 20:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. --Crusio (talk) 08:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
