 * Keep, in fact speedy keep. I am rather surprised by this nomination and the nominator's claim that the subject does not pass WP:PROF. The subject has held named chair/named professor appointments at two major universities (Univ of New Mexico and UC San Diego), so already passes WP:PROF on those grounds. The Awards section lists several significant awards (I added regs for some of them), and elected society fellowships (I added a ref for one of them), so passes WP:PROF too. Google Scholar gives him the h-index of 152:. Together with the awards, that's certainly enough to pass WP:PROF. Probably passes some other criteria of WP:PROF as well (e.g. WP:PROF as the editor-in-chief of an important journal). Nsk92 (talk) 16:01, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per WP:PROF #C1, #C2, #C3, #C5, #C8, and probably also (for the books) WP:AUTHOR. And a trout to the nominator for making such an inane and badly informed nomination. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:28, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as clearly above. A double trout for the nominator for making such an inadequate and time wasting nomination. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:44, 18 July 2018 (UTC).
