 * keep. An author of multiple books stays. mikka (t) 20:11, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * keep. An author of multiple books stays. Article might be toned down, a little. --Tagishsimon (talk)
 * Marginal keep, needs to look less like his CV though; mention what he did first in the lead section, his career after. Dunc|&#9786; 21:46, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep despite rampant socks. Seems notable enough by my standards. Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;Talk&#08596;Contributions 23:10, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fuzzy logic is one of those fields in which it's easy to write books because it's mostly BS. Wile E. Heresiarch 00:30, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Wile E. Heresiarch. JamesBurns 09:20, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Yang in his 1998 Physical Letter A paper

TAO YANG, ``Optimizing Stochastic Resonance in Visual System,'' Physics Letters A, 10 Aug. 1998, vol.245, (no.1-2):79-86.

Addressed the way to processing images with extremely low SNR, we found this method is very useful in many applications. Nice theory and thank you very much for your contribution to real-life image processing!221.239.142.113 07:03, 17 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Please keep! I am a graduate student, I know the theory of computational verb fuzzy controller from my undergraduate text book (see the following link:)

http://www6.cityu.edu.hk/puo/arro/ARROCourse/ContentPage.aspx?nid=20041101232701

This control theory was invented by Tao Yang in 1997. 218.83.230.156 06:42, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

We can find that Tao Yang had made big contributions to control theory. This is a REAL book, a GREAT book written by the very expert and a mathematician. 61.172.63.204 06:13, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just simply check the following book link
 * http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/354042296X/qid=1121580609/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/002-4425480-9436030?v=glance&s=books


 * Keep it! I feel so awful that someone wanted to initiate a deleting proposal for this entry. I found this Tao Yang did many interesting scientific researches such as: computational verb, physical linguistics, computational noun, to name a few. These concepts constitute a new science of matter and minds. I found this Tao Yang also did many applications of scientific principles to engineering problems, as well as many pure mathematical researches. These researches are very important to our knowledge base and therefore deserve to display in Wikipedia.222.69.229.68


 * Keep. He is a Mathematician, a Scientist, an Engineer, a CEO, and will be a great Scientist. Pure and simple!221.239.146.175

Yang published many scientific papers in the above-mentioned journals.
 * Keep. I never know any folk scientist could publish papers on the following first-class journals:
 * Physica D
 * Physics Letters A
 * International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos
 * IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
 * IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems
 * International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications

Yang also published the following book: by the well-known technical publisher [Spinger-Verlag]. It is an insult to such a famous publisher and its editors to the book serial "Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences" by calling any author of any book in this book serial a "folk scientist".
 * TAO YANG, Impulsive Control Theory, Berlin: Spinger-Verlag, Aug. 2001, Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences, vol. 272,  ISBN 354042296X

Yang had been worked in the [University of California, Berkeley] for more than 5 years as a visiting scholar. It is an insult to [University of California, Berkeley] if a "folk scientist" had been worked in one of its best department for such a long time.

It is also an insult to the Office of Technology Licensing, University of California, Berkeley, for they allowing a so-called "folk scientist" to gain the following patent:
 * Title of Invention: ``Chaotic Digital Code-Division Multiple Access(CDMA) Communication Systems''. Inventors: Tao Yang and L.O. Chua . Filing Number: University of California, Berkeley, Office of Technology Licensing, Case No. B-97-080-2, U.S.Patent 6,331,974 issued Dec.18,2001.218.78.201.110
 * Keep it! From this page I found lots of valuable information on [cellular image processing]. I vote to keep it! 218.90.140.2
 * Just folk scientist. Delete it. 61.157.145.177
 * Keep. hi sockers, please support our hero in a wiser way. A real support is to keep rational. Goudong 01:08, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
