 * Checked for WP:NACADEMIC for criteria 1 (via citations for major publications) via Google Scholar. The only highly-cited piece was a review article he wrote in 1990, Character recognition—a review, with 600+ cites shown via google scholar. I am unsure whether this is sufficient, but there it is.

 * Delete. I don't think one well-cited review article is enough by itself for WP:PROF, and the rest of the citation record does not impress me. Our article says he wrote 20 books, which is also not enough by itself for notability, but if someone can turn up multiple reviews of multiple books I could change my mind based on WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:46, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:PROF and could not find any reviews for his books to pass WP:AUTHOR.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 18:36, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:PROF. Reads more like a CV than an article as well. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
