~~Doesn't meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG. Successful academic but not notable. Has been in CAT:NN for over 11 years, hopefully we can now resolve it one way or the other. Boleyn (talk) 07:24, 26 July 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

Keep. The citation record on Google Scholar shows 7 publications with over 100 citations each (and another close), enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF#C1. And he has three major awards from three different organizations, each of which seems good enough for #C2 to me. I've cleaned up the article, which was written badly in a way that made him look like he was just a minor bureaucrat who retired; instead, he appears to have been a significant researcher whose research contributions have been widely recognized. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:02, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
