This article escapes A7 deletion for the professor's claim of a scientific discovery (which, for all I know, could be the most important development in robotics ever.) However, page still lacks reliable sources, so Delete, pending clarification, other opinions. Xoloz (talk) 14:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep There was no assertion of notability when I tagged it A7, but after expansion, it now appears that the subject does meet notability guidelines. The article still needs sources, though. — Travis talk  14:29, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Monte Carlo localization. There seems to be a lot of interest generated in this in robotics circles, and subject clearly is an author on the paper. At this point though, I don't see that he meets WP:N for academics, so merge him to the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xymmax (talk • contribs) 15:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. A Google scholar search shows up well over 1000 citations for his work. Easily passes under WP:PROF. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, do not merge. Most of his best-cited work is on localization, but he does also have well cited papers on other subjects: recognizing emotion in speech and combining information from multiple photos to produce 3d models of their subjects. Thus, I don't think WP:BLP1E applies. —David Eppstein 15:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
