COI Created by @RussWoodroofe clear relation and bias is contained in the article. High citation count in a high citation field, hopefully we can get this resolved quickly and correctly. COIN not opened since this appears to be the only conflict of interest and we can discuss it here with others. KxHarmonic (talk) 02:37, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. The subject meets WP:NPROF and nom does not present a valid rationale for deletion. Although the article creator has a COI, he went through the proper channel and vetted the article through AfC (accepted by ). The article could use some cleanup but does not seem overly promotional. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 03:18, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clear pass of WP:Prof. A shame that COI was used here. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:46, 6 June 2021 (UTC).
 * Snow keep. Passes WP:PROF criteria #1 (many heavily cited publications), #5 (named professorship), #8 (journal editor), and arguably #3 (IMS fellow). There is no COI-based deletion rationale to be made from writing a draft, getting it accepted, and after that only doing one minor and unproblematic edit. I note that the nomination was created by a single-purpose account, I hope not in retaliation for an editing dispute. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:07, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
