 * Keep. the page has been significantly extended - coverage in Nature, Scientific American, and in the news. Gfxnut (talk) 22:35, 5 March 2017 (UTC).
 * Weak keep. Google scholar lists him as fourth most highly cited among the researchers who list "procedural modeling" as one of their specialties, although he is much lower down on the lists for computer graphics or geometric modeling. He's a full professor at a good research university. And he has five publications with over 100 citations each, probably enough for WP:PROF. And Eurographics chair, although not enough for notability by itself, does indicate some confidence in him by his peers in the same research area. But although I think it's above threshold, it's a pretty marginal case. Except for one Scientific American blog post apparently on his "Stress Relief" paper (in which he is in a middle positition among five non-alphabetical authors) I didn't find much in the way of independent sources describing him or his works in any significant depth. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:08, 5 March 2017 (UTC)(27.97.181.147 (talk) 03:29, 11 March 2017 (UTC))

 * Keep. Just passes WP:Prof in a highly cited field. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:31, 6 March 2017 (UTC).
 * Keep -- In addition to the above arguments, I'm seeing news coverage / commentary on his work. I don't see a reason to delete. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:06, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
