Only reference provided is self-published. I couldn't find any other reliable sources covering the subject. Fails WP:BIO. Kindzmarauli (talk) 20:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think, per WP:ACADEMIC, among other reasons because he's a fellow of the AAAS and thus passes #3.  A nice list of prizes in the article, which I imagine can be validated from various sources e.g.   His work is way outside my usual fields, so I will be interested in comments from others who work more regularly in this area. --22:38, 29 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arxiloxos (talk • contribs)
 * Keep per sources provided by the above editor who doesn't have a name lol Arxiloxos. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  22:53, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - In addition to the AAAS fellow designation, he was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1997 per this. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 18:57, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the double pass of WP:PROF (and likely pass of #C2) he also passes #C1 with 54 publications listed by Google scholar as having 100+ citations, with the top one over 1000. To the nominator: these citations constitute thousands of reliably published references mentioning the subject's research, likely some of them in nontrivial detail. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:18, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. The publications are impressive, and the fellowship should make him pass WP:SCHOLAR. Jacona (talk) 20:12, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
