No independent sources, fails WP:GNG. Google news and Google books doesn't seem to pull up anything that was both independent and in-depth. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:53, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, all claims in the article cite sources written by the subject himself, so nothing in the article is verified by our policies. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clear pass of WP:PROF (named professorship) and #C1 (huge citation counts in Google scholar with five publications cited over 1000 times, one of them nearly 30k times). —David Eppstein (talk) 15:34, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Passes WP:PROF with an h-index of 48 and over 45,000 citations . Also passes WP:PROF for being elected an AAAS Fellow (verifiable here) and WP:PROF for holding a named chair . The article could stand a thorough de-CV-ization, but that's a matter that can be addressed through regular editing, not a job for AfD. In academic biographies, sources affiliated with the subject (e.g., universities where they studied or worked) are considered acceptable sources for claims not likely to be contested (e.g., when they earned degrees).
