Robert Aitken just doesn't seem notable. I have tried to fill out this article, but I can't find many references to the man. I tried to deorphan it, but I couldn't find any reasonable way. It's at a dead end, yet editors stop in once in a while. I would have PRODed it, but I don't think it will go away that easily. — Myk Streja ^(who?) 01:54, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IEEE seems valid but why are GS cites so low? This is odd. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Keep per WP:PROF#C3. Re #cites: I see 193, 166, 160, and 95 citations for his top papers, not bad but nothing special (enough only for a weak keep on #C1 if we didn't have #C3 instead). My guess is that his IEEE Fellowship was based more heavily on his industry accomplishments than on his scholarly publications. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:11, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
