dubious notability, some hits on Google Scholar, however I'm skeptical WP:NPROF is satisfied. Created by an SPA/paid editor (Ovedc) with a strong interest in promoting this individual FASTILY 01:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

   Comment: The article claims him to have held the position of Ruth and Samuel Jaffe Professor of Mathematics at Technion, which may meet WP:NPROF Criterion 5. Technion is certainly a reputable institution, but does somebody know whether named chairs work the same way in Israel as they do in the US? Felix QW (talk) 16:57, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep per David Eppstein and my comment above. Felix QW (talk) 10:38, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. The top cited papers in Google Scholar are just a tiny bit below what I would ideally like to see for a WP:NPROF C1 case, but it is very close; it is shored up a little by a long tail of moderately cited papers. But also, under 1c of the NPROF guideline, it specifies that a festschrift in a reputable journal usually suffices for C1. It appears that the subject shared a festschrift in Linear Algebra and Its Applications in 2013 with Abraham Berman and Raphael Loewy (see [1]). The shared part makes it a little unclear, but in combination with the citation record, I think it's enough. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:58, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Striking weak, now that the named professorship details have been verified by David Eppstein. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:35, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Agree. GS citations not too bad for a low cited field like pure mathematics. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:10, 4 December 2022 (UTC).[reply]
• Keep. The named professorship is documented in the university's 2013 president's report [2]. It appears to be the standard sort of named chair used for meeting WP:PROF#C5. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:43, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per all above. I moved some stuff around in the article. WP:SNOW applies to the AfD. gidonb (talk) 18:56, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
