 * Strong keep per WP:PROF (many highly cited papers in Google Scholar) and #C3 (fellow of APS and AAAS). —David Eppstein (talk) 02:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Obituary identifies him as founding father of electron magnetic resonance. Mighty cites on GS. Did the nominator look at these? Xxanthippe (talk) 03:01, 9 May 2011 (UTC).
 * Weak keep: whilst the topic most probably is notable, you would not realise it from this inadequate WP:RESUME -- which I suspect does that topic a severe injustice (making me wonder if having no article at all would be preferable to its current state). HrafnTalkStalk(P) 04:17, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article would certainly benefit from expansion by someone with physics background, but it is clear that the subject is notable. In particular, being an elected fellow of APS and AAAS certainly qualifies to pass WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 13:26, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
