not known to me whether this passes WP:N, but it's unsourced, and definitely a violation of WP:COI, as it's a single author whose name is nearly identical to the subject of the article KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 23:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. 383 hits at google scholar; 128 hits at google books; gnews hits; ghits. Seems to meet Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Sourcing and WP:COI issues can be solved by editing.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree with Fabrictramp: GoogleScholar results show high citability of his work[1] with top citation hits of 404, 387, 201, 177, 156, 120. Appears to pass WP:PROF as the author of highly cited works. Nsk92 (talk) 00:33, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Fabrictramp and Nsk92. --Crusio (talk) 06:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Nsk92 demonstrably influential, highly cited. Pete.Hurd (talk) 02:18, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep only if improved - as it's unsourced and therefore unverified, but he may, in fact be notable. We just don't know it yet. - Toon⁰⁵ 21:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
