- keep, probably speedy keep - Fellow AAAS meets the requirements of WP:PROF. nothing more needs to be shown. Viable stub Of course a better article must be written, bu tthat is our usual improvement. It was however a little outrageous to write such a minimal stub--it's always opssible with a subject like this to do better than that, and doing only the bare minimum will only confuse the eds. who don't understand WP:PROF.

- Weak keep. The AAAS Fellow is a clear pass of WP:PROF but sourcing seems very sparse. — David Eppstein ( talk) 20:48, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - The AAAS grants the title of "Fellow of the AAAS" to well-respected scientists within the organization. So Maurice Zeeman is a well-respected scientist and deserves a place in Wikipedia. His most cited paper was cited by 749 others, and he writes the final chapter of this book on environmental toxicology, summing up the field of ecological risk assessment. I think he meets WP:PROF. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 14:24, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- So what is his most cited paper about? Its not mentioned.

- It's a survey paper rather than a research contribution, on chemicals that disrupt the endocrine system, in which he is 12th out of 13 authors. I don't think it should be mentioned unless we can source some significant contribution of Zeeman to the work despite his low position in the author list. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:26, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- Delete being number 12 on a paper is just not the stuff of academic notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:30, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Passes the SNG for Academics, point 3. Carrite ( talk) 19:49, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think the article as it stands gives any indication to the reader as to why he is notable. Rathfelder ( talk) 23:06, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Per DGG. Of course the article could be expanded, as he must have done something important to become an elected fellow, but that's not in the scope of AfD. Galobtter ( talk) 09:00, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
