While not deeply problematic (there had been a couple obituary-like phrasings, which I've removed), and while I lack a good h-index calculator, the cite counts and locations of appearance of this fellow in Gscholar listings does not leave me to think he would beat the Average Professor Test. I don't see any of the specifics of WP:ACADEMIC being met, nor WP:BASIC. As someone with a previous math background, I would be delighted to be proven wrong, so, additional sources welcomed, as always. j⚛e decker ^talk 05:41, 1 June 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete. A GS h-index of 7, which one can count on one's fingers, is not enough to pass WP:Prof#C1 in applied mathematics. There seems to be not much else. Xxanthippe ( talk) 00:43, 2 June 2014 (UTC). reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete. Nothing in the article as it stands adds up to notability. He does have one reasonably well cited paper, "Structured Light Using Pseudorandom Codes", but he's the fifth of six (non-alphabetical) authors on that one, so it's hard to use that alone as the basis for a claim of academic impact. — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:46, 11 June 2014 (UTC) reply
