I'm not seeing much to warrant a pass of WP:NPROF or WP:NAUTHOR. Most notable activity might be Parovoz IS? This article also seems to be autobiographical. Kj cheetham (talk) 18:59, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. Far from my area but the Google Scholar citation profile looks ok-ish; 168,132,114,71,64, although all are multiauthor and one has ten authors. The top citations are for old papers 1993–2001, when citation wasn't as heavy as it is now. If this had been started independently I'd be leaning keep.

 * Delete. The h-index of 16 strikes me as fairly low for CS, given the area, and the top cites aren't that high either. I am not seeing here enough to pass WP:PROF. I am not sure if there is significant coverage of him in relation to Parovoz IS but even if yes, at the most it seems to be a WP:BIO1E situation, and he is already mentioned in the Parovoz IS article. Plus this does look like a WP:AUTO case. Nsk92 (talk) 17:42, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only works with three-digit citations in his Google Scholar profile are from his postdoctoral research in a physics lab, there are only three of them, and one is a review paper that shouldn't count so much towards academic notability. In his main line of research in computer science, a high-citation area, there is no visible impact. So I don't think he passes WP:PROF and there seems to be nothing else. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
