Very poorly written with rampant grammatical errors. Very little of this article pertains to its subject at all; style is promotional and littered with weasel words. Much of the very basic information (When did he start working for Motorola? When did he develop Six Sigma?) blatantly contradicts the Six Sigma article.

Keep Six Sigma is a really important philosophy. They use to teach it to us in Business School. So I am pretty sure this guy is highly cited. I think that gets him by based on WP:ACADEMIC.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:39, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, developed 6 sigma, highly notable. Szzuk (talk) 14:14, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Obviously notable as inventor of Six Sigma, and has the sources to back that up. The article's badly written and needs some serious editorial love, but that's not a reason to delete. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:54, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
