 * Delete - fails WP:GNG — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justwatchmee (talk • contribs) 16:07, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment: would feel better about this if the nominator or any of the participants described attempts to find evidence of notability. As-is, the nominator incorrectly attempted to PROD the article, then when multiple editors indicated that there was or might be some notability through academic papers, and that this would at least have to be addressed at AFD, immediately nominated it for deletion, without any explanation besides "Fails GNG".  The only other comment literally copied that, and the person who left it didn't bother to sign.  This nomination shows all indications of being rushed and perhaps ignoring WP:BEFORE.  At a very minimum the nominator needs to make some attempt to investigate whether the subject could be documented through Google Books and Google Scholar, and describe the results in a non-perfunctory way here.  Otherwise this nomination should fail, and the result would be keep.  P Aculeius (talk) 13:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree that this is weak nomination. Chow's Google Scholar profile (linked in the article) reports 2800 citations and three articles cited more than 100 times, which would typically indicate a pass of WP:PROF. His work in statistics seems particularly widely covered; a search for "chow-denning test" gives many hits. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 14:34, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * He's also holds a Distinguished Professor chair at West Virginia University, passing WP:PROF. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 14:37, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:PROF and WP:PROF. Maliner (talk) 19:08, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep distinguished professor whose contributions are explicitly noted. Pass of WP:PROF -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 02:41, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
