 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Numbers wise, the !votes are equal, but all the delete !votes came in before David Eppstein's work on the article, which was enough to change one delete !voter's vote. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:23, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

No references. No evidence of notability supplied, none found. Maproom (talk) 16:24, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I did a search and all I found about him were a couple press releases.  I did not find any evidence that he meets WP:NPROF or the general notability guidelines. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 16:28, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Changing to Keep per work and sources found by . Good job; I didn't find that stuff. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 16:44, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. No in-depth coverage in reliable sources. A google search shows this article, Facebook, Linked in etc and very little else besides some press releases. Theroadislong (talk) 16:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed, Fails NPROF, GNG. South Nashua (talk) 18:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete He is just not hitting WP:NPROF. I tried also to find some notability via references and found none.  Gtstricky Talk or C 21:07, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. I have significantly expanded the article (to stub length from sub-stub) and added more sources and more details of his career. His books have attracted both academic reviews and mainstream newspaper attention. (I'm not counting his two recent self-published books, which don't count for much but also shouldn't take away from any notability of the earlier work.) I think he passes WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:21, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: I found this source which gives him a clear pass of WP:PROF as well (he held a named chair prior to his retirement). —David Eppstein (talk) 04:57, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Question. Does DePauw University really qualify as a "major institution of higher education and research" for C5? It's got a fairly small enrollment (2300). Clarityfiend (talk) 00:31, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep as WP:AUTHOR; multiple published books with decent library holdings. Here's a sample review:
 * The performance ethic. Futurist, Mar 01, 1992; Vol. 26, No. 2, p. 58-59 Reviews the book `American Gridmark: Why You've Always Suspected That Measuring Up Doe... more

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: For evaluation of new sources presented.
 * Keep. Named chair would clinch WP:PROF. Agricola44 (talk) 15:39, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. meets several different parts of WP:PROF, and meets WP:AUTHOR. It should have been closed as keep after David E's comment.  DGG ( talk ) 05:43, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets wp:prof and wp:author.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:19, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
