Fails WP:NACADEMIC, WP:NPEOPLE and WP:GNG. Is an WP:AUTOBIO. Possibly consider deleting creator's userpage as it appears to be WP:FAKEARTICLE. Dr Strauss  talk  12:06, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep I received my PhD in computer science in 2009. I referred to Christopher Clark's work at multiple places in my dissertation Measuring and extending LR(1) parser generation: 1) Page v, Acknowledgement; 2) Page 16, "Chris Clark worked on the LALR(k)/LR(1)/LR(k) parser generator Yacc++"; 3) Page 170, "Chris Clark also mentioned one type of grammar that he calls the LR(closed) grammar [4]"; 4) Page 170, "Figure 6.10: The part of Chris Clark’s grammar’s parsing machine related to reduce/reduce conflicts"; 5) Page 212, reference "[4] LR(closed) grammars"; 6) Page 213, reference "[23] Chris Clark. Yacc++ historical notes". 19:48, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete As said above, the relevant guidelines are WP:GNG and WP:ACADEMIC, which are not met. Citations in one's thesis are irrelevant. — Gamall Wednesday Ida (t · c) 12:33, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:NACADEMIC and WP:AUTOBIO. Support blanking User:Christopher.f.clark as an inappropriate use of userspace; Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service for people to put up their autobiographies.  -- RoySmith (talk) 13:39, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:35, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
