Prodded as No evidence of notability, "random professor test" but contested so bringing to AfD. Eusebeus 15:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, yet another bad faith nomination that ignores the subject's significant Google scholar count and other evidence of notability; another display of deletionist fervor for cleansing Wikipedia of references to non-Western culture. Monicasdude 15:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:BIO . It appears he's co-authored 3 papers, which falls short of the professor test criteria.  I don't see anything else that even comes close to WP:BIO.  Reference to "non-Western culture" is a red herring.  Any professor with these credentials misses WP:BIO regardless of where he or she are from.--Isotope23 16:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. His Google Scholar count is much higher than 3; it's nearly 100, and Google Scholar documents many more than 3 papers. Monicasdude 17:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Jareth. Sources cited show there are a considerable number more than the 3 papers I found... plus speeches, etc. How curious that posting sources, references, and evidence can sway one to change their opinion more so than polemics...--Isotope23 18:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - article contains no evidence of notability. --Ajdz 17:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no notability asserted. J I P  | Talk 17:56, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. The 100 papers Google Scholar comes up with weren't all authored by him, at first blush about half of those hits are students papers which thank him. Regardless, those hits also show he's presented at IEEE conferences many times and he's been published in several reputable journals and IEICE. Ah -- and this link should clearly establish notability actually . Unfortunately, the article isn't doing him any justice as it stands, but it can certainly be improved. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 18:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup per Jareth. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 21:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but it has to be expanded.  rxnd  (  t  |  &#8364;  |  c  ) 21:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per Jareth. --Ter e nce Ong 12:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
