 * keep refs do indicate notabiloty, as described in the article.- Altenmann >talk 06:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)


 * weak DELETE There is not a lot here, and I am unsure if any of the awards would confirm notability (As the awards themselves do not seem to be all that notable).Slatersteven (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * worlds top innovators award not notable? Hmm let me sleep on it.... - Altenmann >talk 04:05, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * ....done. Go ahead an delete the article about award, if you suceed, I am with you, if not the award is, how to put it correctly?... notable? - Altenmann >talk 04:08, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell it is a list, not an award . Also the link seems broken, so I cannot even verify the claim/Slatersteven (talk) 10:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You mean this Innovators Under 35?Slatersteven (talk) 10:32, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

I dont really care to stand for this guy. And there is mo more sum microsystems to stand for him. And it looks like nothing else useful can be found of him - Altenmann >talk 08:13, 19 January 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * weak delete keep He's written a number of articles and has a lot of patents, but I don't know of any standard that uses these to show notability. He had a discovery that got him onto an MIT list of "100 Innovators Under 35" but it's basically just a list of names and one sentence summaries. I'm leaning delete because I didn't find significant independent coverage of him in reliable sources which is what the GNG requires.Sandals1 (talk) 15:11, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Happy to change my vote based on DGG's comments. I didn't know about the patent citations.Sandals1 (talk) 12:29, 27 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep on the basis of WP:PROF. Though scientist or engineer in a technical field can be notable from their work in other ways than publications, he meets the standard for beign an authority in his field on the basis of the publications. He has multiple publications with high citations (the highest is 230 ! ) many of them in iEEE symposia, which  are the highest quality sources in his field,.We evaluate patents by two criteria: one is whether they are exploited in a significant way, (which I am unable to analyze)  and the other is just like journal articles, by the citations to them . His two highest cited patents have been referenced 150 and 83 times. That's enough in an subject. I wonder why nobody looked,but perhaps it wasn't realizerd that patents are included in Google Scholar just the same as other publications. (I'll add the citations to the article tomorrow)  DGG ( talk ) 07:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
