Comment - What sort of deletion rationale is WP:BLP? Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A quick search of his name turns up papers by him that have been cited by 547 others, in addition to various other papers that have been cited multi-hundreds of times. [1] While I'm no expert on professors and their notability, the amount of impact he appears to have had on his field makes it appear that he passes WP:PROF #1. Being a recipient of the ACM "Distinguished Scientist" award seems to pass WP:PROF #2. Additionally, judging by all the entries on him in various universities, he may also meet WP:PROF #4. Thus I believe that this article should be kept. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Radev has been twice elected as the ACL secretary, which matches for WP:PROF #6. He is also the founder of North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO) and the coach of US team in the international linguistics Olympiad (ILO). I believe this matches the criterion in WP:PROF #7 (he person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.) Finally, according to Google Scholar his h-index is 33 from 3079 citations, which is ranked as the top 1/3 of one percent of all computers scientists in http://arnetminer.org/. Therefore, I also strongly believe that this article should be kept. Vqazvinian (talk) 10:40, 1 July 2011 (PDT)
Clear keep as exhaustively explained above. Nominator is advised to read WP:Prof and carry out WP:Before before making any more time-wasting nominations in this area. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:24, 2 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Keep. Six papers with over 100 cites each in Google scholar is enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF#C1. I'm not convinced the ACM Distinguished Scientist is enough for #C2 — it's a grade of membership more than an award, a step below fellow which would be enough for #C3 — but there's enough other reasons to keep this that it doesn't matter. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:06, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
