Keep. Google Scholar suggests this individual's citation count is sufficient for NPROF. Several first-author papers with hundreds of citations including 700+, 600+, 500+ citations, several more as second author including 2 with thousands of citations. —siro χ o 18:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a high-citation field but his citations are very high, especially for his 1975 dissertation (which indeed makes a clear claim for him to be a pioneer in evolutionary computation; this field didn't explode until the early 1980s). He also passes WP:PROF#C8 (founded a notable journal) and has multiple reviews for his book (not enough for WP:AUTHOR but also helpful). —David Eppstein (talk) 18:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly passes WP:NPROF#1 based on citations and #8 as illustrated by David. --hroest 18:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per David Eppstein. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:49, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
