 * Delete. GS cites give h index = 10. Too early yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:13, 10 February 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete. Most of the claims that might qualify the subject as notable are entirely unsourced, e.g. "was one of the originators of the concept of data mining", "developed some of the first commercial systems for automatically finding patterns in large databases", "was one of the first researchers to apply artificial intelligence techniques to large scale database systems". Liberal search of WoS ("Author=(Parsaye K*) Timespan=All Years. Databases=SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI") turns up 1 paper: Parsaye K, and Chignell MH "The 8th, 9th, and 10th Tools of Quality" (1993) Quality Progress 26(9), 109-113, which has never been cited in its 17 years in print (i.e. subject's WoS-based h-index = 0). Also unsourced is "He is listed in the Database Hall of Fame" – I'm not familiar with this institution and some cursory searching turned up nothing.

 * Comment. The concept and phrase "data mining" seems to have been commonplace in statistical circles already by 1970, ten years before he got his Ph.D.; see e.g. Jorgensen et al, Econometrica 1970: "By "data mining" or consideration of a wide range of alternatives and selection of the one that fits best, goodness of fit may be overstated." —David Eppstein (talk) 07:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone, too soon.  JBsupreme  ( talk ) 08:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
