not known to me whether this passes WP:N, but it's unsourced, and definitely a violation of WP:COI, as it's a single author whose name is nearly identical to the subject of the article KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 23:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Kevin%20Karplus%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=ws 383 hits] at google scholar; [http://books.google.com/books?tab=sp&sa=N&q=%22Kevin+Karplus%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N 128 hits] at google books; gnews hits; ghits. Seems to meet Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Sourcing and WP:COI issues can be solved by editing.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I agree with Fabrictramp: GoogleScholar results show high citability of his work[http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22Kevin%20Karplus%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ws] with top citation hits of 404, 387, 201, 177, 156, 120. Appears to pass WP:PROF as the author of highly cited works. Nsk92 (talk) 00:33, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Fabrictramp and Nsk92. --Crusio (talk) 06:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Nsk92 demonstrably influential, highly cited. Pete.Hurd (talk) 02:18, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep only if improved - as it's unsourced and therefore unverified, but he may, in fact be notable. We just don't know it yet. - Toon05 21:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
