Does not meet WP:NPROF. Nothing to indicate he was anything more than an average professor. Also, WP:NOTMEMORIAL Rusf10 (talk) 00:07, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Google Scholar citation counts show an easy pass of WP:PROF#C1 [1]. And NOTMEMORIAL is a badly misplaced justification for an article created six years before his death. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:26, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clear pass of WP:PROF#C1, and thus, the page being a "memorial" would be irrelevant even if it were true. XOR'easter (talk) 00:32, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:PROF#C1. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 04:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Pretty clearly passes WP:PROF#C1. — MarkH21 (talk) 08:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just piling on here but "per above". --qedk (t 桜 c) 21:44, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As noted above, clearly passes WP:PROF#C1. Also passes WP:GNG as there are multiple examples of specific coverage of him in the newsmedia and other places (I added several such sources to the article). In particular, a Dec 30 2014 article in Computerworld "Tech luminaries we lost in 2014" has a section about him where he is characterized as "a pioneer in the field of assistive robotics".
