 * Keep. He is Professor Above Scale at UCLA since 1995, according to his CV. For those not familiar with the UC system, it has a system of steps within each rank (Professor I, Professor II, etc.); advancing through most of these steps happens routinely every three years (in typical cases) but the jump from Prof. V to Prof. VI is considered to be a major promotion on the same scale as a promotion from assistant to associate or associate to full. The jump from Prof. IX to Prof. Above Scale is similarly major. So he's two ranks above the normal full professor, which I think should be considered a pass of WP:PROF #5. He's also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1998, passing WP:PROF #3. And he has a good citation record in Google scholar (though it's a little tricky to pick his contributions out from those of the other E. Keenans) so I think he likely also passes WP:PROF #1. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:03, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
