Nothing to assert notability.  Ja Ga  talk 14:42, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * delete non-notable. no references were given. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 14:46, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. My first thought was 'I recognize the name' - but that was the actor.  Oops.  Searching more broadly in news, I don't find anything about this guy.  Some references to a "Junichi Watanabe" a Japanese astronomer, but not to this guy.  David V Houston (talk) 18:03, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I suppose WP:PROF guidelines could apply here; doesn't appear to meet them or WP:BIO for that matter. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * delete - For a minute I thought Long Duck Dong had changed careers. But I see this is just a nn-professor/researcher. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - a "senior scientist" at NASA's Goddard Space Laboratory should be enough for notability. Bearian (talk) 21:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unreferenced WP:BLP, and no evidence of meeting WP:PROF. GS finds few citations (18 for "Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background from Supernovae," but only a handful of others). And, btw, he works for Emergent Information Technologies Inc., not NASA. -- Radagast 3  (talk) 07:29, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
