Not a clear pass of WP:PROF, but plenary speaker at a current major conference. Couple of mentions in news and books that don't focus on him [1] [2]. So clearly verifiable, but department headness and plenary speakerdom are only weak indications of notability.

If I can be petty for a moment: that's "semi-plenary" speaker at a conference which has 10 announced "plenary" speakers. M.boli (talk) 23:38, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm having difficulty finding his works in Google Scholar among all the other Jons Sorenson. But for someone who's been around this long, in a high-citation field (computer science), having a paper with 119 citations in Google scholar as your best known is definitely not enough for WP:PROF#C1. And there seems to be nothing else; being department head or plenary speaker is also not enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:42, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I didn't see anything on his CV that said notable to me. Competent, successful, CS professor who is still publishing original work, but not encyclopedia-worthy. — M.boli (talk) 23:38, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
