Unsourced BLP of marginal notability. Either it should be sourced or deleted. RMHED (talk) 21:56, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * keep Took 2 minutes to dig up the sources. Seems to pass WP:PROFESSOR.  There are other sources available as well, will leave to others.   P HARMBOY  ( moo ) ( plop ) 00:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:PROF on several counts. An elected fellow of Association for Computing Machinery, that's probably enough to pass Criterion 3 of WP:PROF. Has won a significant award and is a very highly cited academic (see googlescholar with top citation hits of 444, 411, 388, 387, 323, etc; similar results in WebOfScience). Also, frequently cited as an academic expert in conventional newsmedia (66 hits in GoogleNews). Nsk92 (talk) 02:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * keep per Nsk92. Pete.Hurd (talk) 03:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Rapid Keep The Wilkes award is a significant prize as well. One of a group of nominations placed without any attemt to screen or search. TheACM fellow information was in the article when it was nominated. DGG (talk) 04:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. These nominations are getting disruptive. For the sake of a few seconds of his/her own time with Google the nominator is wasting much more of everyone else's time with AfDs. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per DGG.--Eric Yurken (talk) 02:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems pointless to add to the snowball at this point, but keep. ACM Fellow should be enough by itself, as should the 11 papers with 100+ Google scholar citations each, as should the Wilkes award. Put them all together and the result is obvious. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:28, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
