Unsourced BLP that doesn't clarify why the subject would meet WP:ACADEMIC. As an aside, the article was created by a WP:SOCK of a banned user. Gazimoff 16:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete per criterion G5 (created by banned user with little substantive input by anyone else). Even if that didn't apply, I still don't see how this meets the notability guideline for academics, and any unsourced BLP is always a bad thing to have around. *** Crotalus *** 19:08, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • It now has some substantive edits from me, and several reliable sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. —Phil Bridger (talk) 22:19, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Obvious keep as an IEEE fellow, one of the explicit criteria of WP:PROF, which was already confirmed by the faculty profile linked in the article before nomination. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:19, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Along with the IEEE Fellow, he passes a different criterion of WP:PROF, #1, due to his six papers with over 100 citations each. He has also received some media attention for his research, which I added to the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also WP:PROF #8 as eic of IEEE Trans. Multimedia. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:47, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It is hard to understand the reasons to delete this page as presently edited. Would the nominator of the AfD care to expand on his reasons in case something has been missed. Has the nominator studied WP:Before? Xxanthippe (talk) 23:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]

  The nominator has studied WP:BEFORE. The nominator also understands that the subject's surname was incorrectly spelt, and is actually Chen, which is why the nominator found no sources. The nominator will be withdrawing the AfD now that this is corrected and well sourced, but the nominator also doesn't apprectaite smart-ass comments. Many thanks, Gazimoff 23:25, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
