- Weak delete. I am not completely sure about this case. On one hand, the CV shows a huge publication list[4]. It is also confirmed that he is an editorial board member for one journal [5] and a "senior technical editor" for another journal[6]. On the other hand I could find very little evidence of citability of his research. GoogleScholar gives very little[7]. I also checked both WebofScience and Scopus and there is very little there in terms of citability of his papers, with top hits in low single digits. It is possible that somehow all of them miss a substantial number of sources, but unless someone can actually demonstrate this, I am unwilling to give too much weight to the two journal editorships and being on the organizing committees of various conferences. In computer science I would have expected to see substantial evidence of citability of his work detected somewhere. Nsk92 (talk) 11:46, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Not editor of the journals, member of the editorial board of one, and "technical editor" of another. the long list of publications are almost entirely local conferences. Neither scopus nor WoS are particularly strong for computer technology, so I also checked Citeseer, and a vareity of similar approaches to computer conferences, and found nothing significant further.
