  • Keep From the sources he seems to be important enough to be considered notable.Borock (talk) 07:14, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
  • But according to WP:ANYBIO he is not notable enough for WP. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:36, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. I don't think he passes WP:PROF (the most likely criterion is #C7, impact outside academia in his academic capacity, but we'd need sources documenting the actual impact he has made) nor WP:GNG. The sources are a mixture of self-published ones (e.g. his university web sites) and reliable news articles that are not actually about him, but mention him in passing or quote him. I don't think that's enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:44, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep for his role as a regulator. David E and I usually agree about academics; this is one of the borderline cases where we sometimes do not. DGG ( talk ) 21:30, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Weak delete borderline article, possible WP:COI on part of creator. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:42, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:ACADEMIC; Google scholar finds very few articles with very few cites, and he is only an associate professor at UTS.[http://email.itd.uts.edu.au/webapps/directory/entry.mason?entry=dWlkPWRlYWdlcixvdT1TdGFmZixvPXV0cy5lZHUuYXUsbz1VVFM=] Fails WP:BIO; I could not find anything at all about him at Google News Archive. --MelanieN (talk) 23:07, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
