This article is more about a cheap advertisement for Allen Holub rather than about actual achievements. E.g. in the article there is a list of former employers. There is nothing notable about him. CasperGoodwood (talk) 18:12, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I have been unable to find any sources that contribute to notability of this subject. Yes, he has a few Google Scholar citations, but nothing like the number that could show a pass of WP:PROF in the highly-cited field of computer science. I've tried to ignore that fact that the article claimed that he was a distinguished professor when in fact the source said "assistant adjunct professor".

 * Delete. Definitely does not pass WP:PROF (only one publication with triple-digit citations in a high-citation field) but WP:AUTHOR is possible if enough reviews of his many books can be found. I didn't find any reviews on Google Scholar or JSTOR but that's not entirely a surprise as they are not academic books. Maybe there are reviews in trade magazines? I'd be willing to change my opinion on this case if they turn up. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:46, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources found, agree that this does appear promotional. There are no reviews of his works, or much of anything discussing the person. Oaktree b (talk) 01:36, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
