Is this professors sufficiently notable? No notability is really asserted through the brief article text right now, and the external link provides only slightly more information -- mentioned as a chair both at CUHK and Peking University, but not mentioned as a named chair. I don't see it. Delete unless notability otherwise established. --Nlu (talk) 13:29, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He is the chair professor of Electrical Engineering at the ~~University of Hong Kong, an institution ranked typically in the 20s or 30s worldwide~~ City University of Hong Kong, ranked 50th to 100th in the world by various ranking agencies. Per this site he is on the faculty at Peking University College of Engineering. Directly meets WP:PROF criteria #5. If you go to the ranking of EE profs here, you can see he is quite high up, ranked 30th in the world (that is not an accurate rank, but should tell you he is in the top league). The number of publications (427) and citations (8461) clearly show significant influence in the field (WP:PROF criteria #1). Churn and change (talk) 06:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The article mentions CUHK but not HKU. Do you have a source indicating that he's now at HKU? --Nlu (talk) 03:55, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - My bad; I fixed that. CUHK is also a major research university (as per the various rankings), and his H-index, publication and citation counts are all so high it is clear he has significant influence in the field. As to the "named chair" that doesn't exist in the same form everywhere; WP:PROF asks us to "use or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon."

Keep. He passes multiple WP:PROF criteria: #C1 for his highly cited papers (e.g. 1626 Google scholar cites for "From Chaos to Order", 1297 for "Yet another chaotic attractor", 964 for "Kalman filtering"), #C3 as an IEEE Fellow, plausibly #C5 as argued above, and #C8 as editor-in-chief of IEEE Circuits and Systems (a major journal; he is also EIC of the International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos but I'm not sure whether that is as significant). —David Eppstein (talk) 18:16, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Completely clear keep as above. Nominator is advised to study WP:Prof before making further nominations in this area. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:39, 21 October 2012 (UTC).[reply]
