Subject fails WP:GNG. WP:NACADEMIC #1 is the closest shot at notability, but his h-index sits at 12 per Google Scholar, with no meaningful results on Scopus. It is important to distinguish him from Alexander L. Strehl, who appears to be a different computer scientist. The subject's bio at University of Aalen differs substantially from information available on A.L. Strehl, and his PhD is from University of Texas, while A.L.'s is from Rutgers.

 * Keep based purely on that one paper. 4000 cites for what looks like a novel methodology description (not a review or a textbook) would seem to translate into "substantial impact on the field". Not enchanted with the essentially WP:BLP1E status and the original genesis as an autobio, but there you go. - Note: it's a bit weird that we would very likely make this a redirect to the BLP1E event/topic (Consensus_clustering) for an author, singer, celebrity etc., but we don't for academics. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:09, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The h-index is low for a computer scientist, but beyond that one paper there's another paper with nearly 1000, two more with over 100 (one single-authored), and two more with close to 100. I think it's enough for WP:PROF and spread out enough to avoid WP:BIO1E problems. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:57, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
