 * The subject of the previous AfD is unrelated, an associate professor of psychology at Fordham University. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:55, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I found this through the academic deletion sorting list but Chen appears to have no academic notability whatsoever. The article (and the related Injective Labs) appeared to be making the claim that Chen and Injective were somehow affiliated with Stanford University, but that appears to be false. Instead, we need to go through WP:GNG and WP:NCRYPTO, but I agree that most sources in the article fail the reliability determination in NCRYPTO, and therefore do not contribute to GNG-based notability. I checked three book sources that superficially looked better (Dolev, Slayton, and Jarvis) and found no mention of Chen at all in any of them. My own searches found nothing else. The article on Injective Labs could also use some scrutiny. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:53, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete he is not notable as academic. --Old-AgedKid (talk) 12:50, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
