Ming C. Lin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Associate editor in chief for an IEEE journal, professor. Impressive, but I don't think it quite establishes notability. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 10:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:23, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. The nominator and Qworty need to re-read WP:PROF, because it's very obvious that she passes criterion #C5. Aside from that, with Google scholar citation counts of 1592, 618, 355, 309, etc. (skipping the 456-cite paper that appears to be a different MC Lin) she also passes #C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:52, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Clear keep on arguments above. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Clear keep on #C2 - she received IEEE VGTC Technical Achievement Award 2010 and #C8 - she is the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE TVCG. Wedit2011 8:53, 5 February 2011 (UTC).
 * Good points. I have updated the article to state that she is EiC. And of course, even just one of these criteria would be sufficient reason for a keep. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:12, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Clear keep Ray  Talk 21:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
