Although this individual has done a lot, the article does not indicate how it meets WP:GNG or WP:BIO. I am unable to find discussion of the subject in multiple reliable sources. ... disco spinster   talk  05:23, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I worked very closely with Anwar Chitayat in promoting brushless linear motor technology around the world since its beginning 30 years ago. He was the inventor and I was the promoter. We worked very closely together for 8 years and were successful in revolutionizing the world of high performance automation. We were connected with thousands of engineers, technicians, scientists, business managers, plant managers of potential customers many of which were on Fortune 500 who notably knew very well who we are and where to find us. As result of my leadership in business development of linear motors Today Linear motor technology is using Anwar's inventions all over the world by thousands of companies. Therefore Regarding notability I am in process of collecting both Anwar's and mine most relevant list of references to add it to the pages.  For that we may need some time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beidelberg (talk • contribs) 06:38, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, well sourced. Kolma8 (talk) 08:06, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. This process triggered my thoughts in creating more related technology pages which are missing. Will probably start is early next week and will advise progress. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beidelberg (talk • contribs) 17:02, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not well sourced; no pass of GNG evident. Sourcing analysis for current version: Footnotes #1-#4 and #10-#13 (patents and publications by the subject) are primary and not independent. #5-#7 (ASME, American Machinist, and Control Engineering) only quote him and are not in-depth. #8 and #9 (Rockwell and Optinet) don't mention him at all. That leaves only a local news story about the subject landing a private airplane, not enough for notability. Google Scholar shows citation counts of 14, 11, 10, and less, not enough for academic notability through WP:PROF, and the academic career section of the article describes nothing else that could qualify. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:14, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I used your comments to change Optinet source and add a more second sources. Also wrote a related article High performance positioning systemsBeidelberg (talk) 16:54, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   09:31, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. For people bitable as developing technology, treating them as academics and looking for impact of published papers is irrelvant.The equivalent is to show the impact of their inventions, andd that's considerably harder to quantify. DGG ( talk ) 10:39, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Mild Keep Reads more like a resume than an article. Ok he's done lots, but WHY is his stuff important. Oaktree b (talk) 15:29, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Tried to add some flying and military spice to my "resume" like life story. The importance is perhapse the combination of innovative, real time, solutions to real problems and teaching students how it is done Beidelberg (talk) 16:17, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with DGG, the practical impact of an engineer or inventor, for example in industry, can be difficult to measure. It appears to me that overall the subject's work with linear motors, machining and positioning systems, including papers, patents, development and teaching is notable. --Alan Islas (talk) 14:15, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
