Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the beneficiary met the required three evidentiary criteria. While the beneficiary met the criteria for judging others' work and authoring scholarly articles, the petitioner did not successfully prove the beneficiary's original contributions were of major significance. Evidence such as book rankings and citation counts was deemed insufficient to establish a wide-ranging impact on the field.
