Delete as it looks like a resume at this time, and individual isn't notable yet. PHARMBOY (TALK) 22:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hshieh is an influential lecturer at Harvard —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.120.48 (talk) 00:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have attended a few of Hshieh's lectures at Harvard. Given his contributions to 3D imaging, especially in cancer detection, I am surprised that this article is up for deletion. Most of his work is published in closed journals, but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to add more references to this entry. Themonthcomes (talk) 01:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep More than enough info to justify an article. -Nard 02:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable researcher/academic. Fails WP:PROF in a blink. VG ☎ 12:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly fails WP:PROF - not notable even if clearly very bright. Why are we being told a Stanford University freshman is an 'influential Harvard lecturer'? Even his CV doesn't make that claim. Large numbers of students can claim similar awards. And of course a clear campaign here by brand new editors. Doug Weller (talk) 14:01, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Our standards for academics make full professors usually be notable, but to make a freshman be notable we would need extremely persuasive evidence which is not to be found here. No publications in refereed journals have been listed, and we don't see any reliable sources commenting on his work. Wikipedia does not have articles on any of the awards he is said to have received. EdJohnston (talk) 14:22, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Aside from everything else (he's clearly nonnotable), if "most of his work is published in closed journals", that doesn't help his notability at all. Nyttend (talk) 15:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
