Sio-Iong Ao

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability concerns. Engineeringletters.com (as listed in the ref) is ranked at #4,902,405 on Alexa, showing it's not reliable at all. Other references (mainly theses) cannot be the sole evidences proving the notability of this person, and the links to some university websites look not satisfying. I tried to search around the web but no Chinese and English news reports or third-party introductions were found. Note: I've also started a deletion proposal in the Chinese Wikipedia out of the above reasons. It would be great if you can provide any reliable info directly showing "Sio-Iong Ao" is worth to be included in an Encyclopedia. Thanks. Kou  Do u 11:13, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article and references suggest a scientist who has written a few scientific articles, developed some code and owns a business or two on the side. Nothing notable.--Rpclod (talk) 01:13, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:PROF and WP:BASIC.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 11:30, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article focuses primarily on his academic rather than business accomplishments but notability under WP:PROF is not evident, and the article also does not present sources that could show notability as a businessman. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:33, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
