there is an assertion of notability, but there are few sources, and it's impossible to ascertain genuine notability with this cv masquerading as a bio.  Ohc  ¡digame! 03:41, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unfortunately I can't find anything here that makes him notable. The only things which might have are not actually sourced. For example there is a claim that he received an NSF award, but the source link is just to nsf.gov and I cannot find any record of it. Likewise the ASCE "Millennium Challenge" award is cited with a link to asce.org, and I only found it referred to in a book he authored and on his CV. Furthermore from what I read here: it appears that the prize was awarded to projects, not individuals. That's not to say that these claims are false but the awards probably aren't sufficiently notable for WP:SCHOLAR. --Sammy1339 (talk) 01:57, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - I see that's he's a Fellow of ASCE, but several of the sources are dead links or merely passing mentions. Bearian (talk) 17:33, 29 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Simply no significant coverage. I'm a fellow in the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and I assure you that I'm not notable either. J04n(talk page) 00:51, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:ACADEMIC, fails WP:NOTEBLP. lacks significant coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 16:48, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
