Google Scholar Name

If you're searching for this person on Google Scholar, the link is "W K Gear." And based on that, he DOES meet WP:NPROF based on citation count and h-index. PianoDan (talk) 15:12, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with @PianoDan, he has very high cites for some papers without too many authors. @Bearian, you posted on WT:Physics a "please fix" request for this page. I have tagged it as a stub, but removed the notability. Was there anything else you thought needed fixing? Ldm1954 (talk) 22:27, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's good. Bearian (talk) 22:29, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
