think I have too much a conflict of interest. I am mostly just trying to pick up adding and editing on
Knowledge (XXG) again by starting with something and some people I know about. I used to have an account here 6 years ago when I was being educated but the email I remember associated with it is now defunct, and I don't remember the user (though it was probably the same as/similar to my current).

I did some work on this also. The relevant standard is WP:PROF, and, based on the publication record, I do not think he meets it. You will need to show him an authority in his subject, and this normally requires an extensive citation record--looking quickly at Google
