 * Keep Subject meets WP:NACADEMIC notability guidelines due to having held a named chair. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:18, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. I checked his CV and the endowed chair was separate from being dean, so it does count. (Sometimes an endowed chair is given for an administrative position rather than scholarship, and those don't count towards notability, but this appears to be one of the ones given for scholarship.) His Google Scholar profile  shows an easy pass of WP:PROF, with many heavily cited publications. And the previous deletion was for copyright violations and promotional writing, not for notability, so it has no bearing on this case. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:55, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep The Google Scholar profile doesn't seem curated; it includes papers by other people in other fields. For example, none of the top three are actually by the article's subject. Two include as co-author an S. L. Wu who is a physicist, and the third is a cellular biology paper with three Wu's on the author list, none of them S. David . The fourth paper in the GS list is by this S. David Wu, but the fifth was co-authored by Sizong Wu. There's probably enough left after a more careful filtering to still pass WP:PROF, but the WP:PROF case for the named chair is simpler. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 22:11, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
