I am not an expert on this topic but subject appears non-notable with only 4 publications on record Flaming Ferrari (talk) 04:12, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. The nominator misunderstands the four publications listed in the article: they are a selection of his highest impact publications (as is appropriate for our articles), not a complete listing of his publications (very seldom appropriate). A full list of his publications can be found here. In any case he clearly passes WP:PROF with Google scholar citation counts of 784, 454, etc (note the second and third GS hits are the same publication), and likely passes some other WP:PROF criteria as well. He has been president of both the European Association for Machine Translation (1995–2004) and the International Association for Machine Translation (1999–2001), which gave him their Award of Honour in 2001. He was also the founding editor-in-chief of MT News International, the Newsletter of the International Association for Machine Translation, but I'm not sure that's an important enough journal to count for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:20, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. I recommend that the subject revise his web site, which is aesthetically hideous. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:18, 29 January 2014 (UTC).
 * Keep although someone who makes a website that hurts my eyes as badly as this one deserves otherwise... :-) --Randykitty (talk) 04:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
