nominating for WP:ONEVENT, he is not really known for his academic career as google scholar reveals. gnews proves one event coverage. LibStar (talk) 23:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I was ready to !vote "delete per nom: but then I decided to do a bit more google-searching, just in case. There is an obituary about him at the UC Berkeley website. It mentions that he was a Fellow and later a Life Fellow of IEEE (which would likely make him academically notable per WP:PROF). However, when I attempted to verify this fact directly at the IEEE website, his name does not appear in the list of Fellows:. I am not sure how to explain it, but this case probably deserves more digging to see if he is academically notable. The scarcity of GoogleScholar hits might be due to the fact that most of his active research would have been done in the 1960s and 70s, and GScholar would not be very good at tracking citability for publications which are that old.

 * Also, the obit here repeats the IEEE Fellow info and mentions that he was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1957. The latter does check out. Nsk92 (talk) 03:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
