Ken Musgrave

Seemingly nothing at all for any applicable notability, WP:CREATIVE, WP:PROF and WP:GNG, my searches have found only a few links at Books and he was apparently only an Assistant Professor at the university thus there's no actual solid notability from simply that and his website also lists nothing noticeably convincing for notability. Notifying for his analysis. SwisterTwister  talk  23:26, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * uncertain. From Worldcat, he seems to have written one part of a standard book in the field, but he was not the principal author . That's not enough by itself. But from ?Google Scholar  he is also the principal author of a number of papers, one with over 400 citations  (others: 63,61, ...) That's all together not a very strong evidence for being an recognized effort in his field, but it isn't trivial.  DGG ( talk ) 01:10, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. No opinion on notability of the subject for the moment, but let me note that there is another person called Ken Musgrave who is the Director Director of Industrial Design and Usability at Dell. Various Google searches for "Ken Musgrave" return many hits for this namesake of the subject, so one needs to be careful when conducting such searches. Nsk92 (talk) 23:11, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Seems too early at present. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:28, 28 May 2016 (UTC).
 * Delete as failing WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 12:07, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Probable keep The article does make claims to notability.  I just sourced one of them that had been tagged for sourcing; I would have at least googled a direct quote like this before dragging an article to AFD, which is too often used as s substitute for a reimprove template. My next search was on google books "Ken Musgrave" + Fractal  .  Whole pages of persuasive hits in reliable-looking books that don't merely cite his work, they  discuss his role in fractals.  That, plus the paper citations DGG found, above, make me think this should be kept.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:18, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
