Doesn't appear to pass bio notability.  Ja Ga  talk 02:27, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Holds a named chair, the CUBIC Signal Processing Chair of the Communication Systems and Signal Processing Institute. Google Scholar reports that his article "On the use of windows for harmonic analysis with the discrete Fourier transform" is cited by 2271 other publications. -- Eastmain (talk) 02:40, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Top GS cites are 2271, 213, 52, 46, 45.... with h index = 12. I suggest that this passes on WP:Prof #1 due to first paper. Also has named chair as above. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:21, 24 October 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep meets WP:PROF in several different ways: his chair, citations to his work, his textbooks. Details & refs  need to be added, but that';s straightforward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs)
 * Keep. It has already been demonstrated that he passes WP:PROF #1 (research impact), #5 (the named chair), and that he likely passes #4 (the textbooks) and #7 (his work in signal processing has significant practical applications). But he also passes #3 (he was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2003) and #8 (he is co-editor-in-chief of Digital Signal Processing). Only one of these criteria is needed, so this is a keep six times over. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:04, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. It is a puzzle why this article was slated for AfD. Would the nominator care to expand on his reasons? If not, I suggest a speedy keep. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:24, 25 October 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep per above - Can we get WP:SNOW here? Ray  Talk 01:05, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
