Not seeing enough in-depth coverage from secondary sources to meet WP:GNG, and doesn't meet WP:NACADEMIC. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 03:33, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteKeep passes WP:Prof with 23,000 cites in GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:33, 21 June 2021 (UTC).[reply]
Xxanthippe, it does not appear to me that the Alex X. Liu having 23000 citations on GS is the same Alex Liu as the subject of this article. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:37, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this comment. Do you have an idea of what his citations (if any) are? I am certainly cabable of changing my vote on the basis of new evidence. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC).[reply]

I did not find a GS profile, and it is unfortunately difficult to disambiguate from other Alex Liu's. The pubs listed in the articles did not look to be highly cited; I didn't quickly find reviews for the books. There could easily be an argument for notability that I didn't yet find.

Xxanthippe - I did the same thing at first, but I can't find anything regarding this particular Alex Liu on Scholar. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:15, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is definitely not the well-cited Alex Liu, who does research on channel state information and RFID. The Alex Liu in question here only has two articles from his WP page that are indexed by Scopus (under different profiles -- Y.C. Liu and Alex Liu), with a total of 27 citations. The article might be a student effort from the Data Communication and Visualization WikiEd course, although the author isn't listed there. JoelleJay (talk) 17:23, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your research everybody. Action taken. I guess that the moral is not to support an academic bio until the authors of it have provided a GS profile of its subject. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:21, 21 June 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Redirect/merge to Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars. While I'm not seeing WP:NPROF notability, nor WP:NAUTHOR, the federation seems to have been notability in the early 90s, and the subject's role in it appears to have been significant enough for a mention (though probably not for a standalone article).

Redirect/merge to Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars. there is no WP:NPROF notability, and not enough for GNG (the science article only mentions him in passing and the Irish Tech is an interview), his role with the federation can be written up there. --hroest 13:44, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article has no reliable sources of information, not notable enough.Aloolkaparatha (talk) 15:37, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the newly added editions have no sources to support. The subject is very well-known.
