Keeep A "Professor" in the UK system is equivalent to a "Distinguished Professor" in the US system which shows notability according to
wp:professor. The citations in Google Scholar are also significant for a philosophy professor.

That says UK "professor" encompasses the equivalents of US "professor", "distinguished professor", and "chaired professor"; that doesn't mean that all UK professors hold each of those titles.

Weak keep. Full professor at a good research university, in the US, UK, or elsewhere, is suggestive but not determinative. It doesn't meet any actual notability criterion (in particular, it is not by itself enough for
WP:PROF#C5), but I would expect most people with this rank to have done enough to meet some other criterion. In this case the only one seems to be
WP:PROF#C1, and I think the record on Google Scholar (three publications with 100+ citations each, in a field where there are some superstars but most citations are low) is above threshold. —
