Delete. My first thought was 'I recognize the name' - but that was the actor. Oops. Searching more broadly in news, I don't find anything about this guy. Some references to a "Junichi Watanabe" a Japanese astronomer, but not to this guy. David V Houston (talk) 18:03, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I suppose WP:PROF guidelines could apply here; doesn't appear to meet them or WP:BIO for that matter. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

delete - For a minute I thought Long Duck Dong had changed careers. But I see this is just a nn-professor/researcher. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - a "senior scientist" at NASA's Goddard Space Laboratory should be enough for notability. Bearian (talk) 21:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unreferenced WP:BLP, and no evidence of meeting WP:PROF. GS finds few citations (18 for "Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background from Supernovae," but only a handful of others). And, btw, he works for Emergent Information Technologies Inc., not NASA. -- Radagast 3 (talk) 07:29, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
