BLP with lack of secondary sources. May need evaluating against WP:PROF. Appears borderline N with COI promo (likely undisclosed autobiog + obvious meat as main contribs). Widefox ; talk 14:11, 7 December 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment I don't know a lot about publication patterns in this field, but it sounds like a case could be made for WP:PROF criterion 1 with an h-index of 20 and at least five papers cited more than 100 times. EricEnfermero (Talk) 21:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. What he's notable for is something he's no longer doing, academic research, but notability is not temporary. And I agree with EricEnfermero that the highly-cited papers (and ten-year test-of-time award) are enough for WP:PROF. His position as CTO of Redlink and his current position at Google are probably not notable but that doesn't matter. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:54, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as all of this seems to become notable and acceptable, satisfying the applicable notability guidelines. Surely not a deletion priority at this time, SwisterTwister   talk  08:57, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
