Babatunde Ogunnaike

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This university professor is a dean and associate editor, but does not meet the notability inclusion criteria of WP:PROF. Also, this article is written by a single author with reference only from the institution where the subject works suggesting no widespread recognition. Alan.ca (talk) 04:06, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I was surprised to view the notice on Babatunde Ogunnaike which I just created. I acknowledge the fact that Wikipedia has so many rules and regulations especially regarding articles on living people. Please, could anyone help me shed more light on the notability inclusion criteria of this AfD on a layman's terms?.....Thanks! :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eruditescholar (talk • contribs)
 * If you follow a link to Notability (academics), you'll see an extensive treatment. For a condensed version, look at the nutshell at the top. What's unclear? PS. The bottom line: for an individual to be notable, it helps to have independent, mainstream sources. This article does not suggest that the person covered has attracted attention of any such sources, coverage comes either from employeer/own pages, or niche publications of dubious reliability. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:12, 23 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails WP:PROF as written; no evidence of mainstream coverage, or notable research or achievements (deans do not qualify, per "Lesser administrative posts (Provost, Dean, Department Chair, etc.) are generally not sufficient to qualify under Criterion 6"). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:14, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:PROF as a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He also passes #C1 through his high-citation publications (8 with over 100 cites in Google scholar) and #C5 as the holder of a named chair. Only one of these criteria would be enough; he doesn't also have to pass #C6. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:42, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. passes WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:02, 23 October 2013 (UTC).
 * Keep. Minimal checking shows an easy pass of WP:Prof, WP:Prof, and WP:Prof. I also note over 800 citations for his book Process dynamics, modeling, and control. A totally incomprehensible nomination. -- 101.119.15.235 (talk) 00:33, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
