A professor and researcher who does not seem to meet our notability guidelines for academics. The only reference cited is an article in his institution's student newspaper. Brian the Editor (talk) 04:33, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

• Keep He's an associate professor at a major university. http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~sugato/Vita_Dec%2005.pdf (or alt: http://www.cfs.purdue.edu/csr/research/sugato.shtml) lists a large number of awards & publications. Travelbird (talk) 09:52, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
• Being an associate professor, publishing prolifically, and best-paper and department-level awards are not among the criteria of WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:41, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
• Comment. No recommendation for now, but he does actually appear to meet WP:PROF as a full professor and department chair (per [http://www.cfs.purdue.edu/csr/about/dept_head.html]). I haven't looked fully at the sources, but a quick check seems to show he's been quoted/written about in USA Today, among others, and is on the editorial board for Journal of Financial Markets (though I can't immediately figure out in what capacity). Sourcing still needs to be there to satisfy WP:BLP, of course. --Kinu ^t/_c 10:15, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
• Neither being a full professor nor being a department chair are among the WP:PROF criteria. In either case, to pass WP:PROF by academic rank or by administrative position, something stronger is needed: either being a distinguished professor or named chair, or being the head of a whole university. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:PROF#C1. Google scholar finds five papers with over 100 citations each, and one of his papers is the second hit for "stealth trading". That's enough to convince me that he's making a significant impact. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:41, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
