Non-notable academic -- the list of references shows no indication of secondary sources. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 07:13, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
*Delete per proposer. Might be possible to stubify this autobiography if notability is established. -Roxy the dog™ (Resonate) 07:39, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Notable-academic (Professor Test wp:academics): Subject clearly satisfies the wp:academics Professor Test for notability; the article clearly demonstrates wp:academics under "Criteria" for notability on a number of fronts (conditions) and only one is required (QUOTE: ″Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable″....); in fact, the subject matches MOST of the 9 conditions for notability, not just one; Secondary sources which discuss the subject's academic work as a primary focal topic are included in the list of references such as e.g. the University homepage: http://www.ulster.ac.uk/staff/p.mckevitt.html http://academy.bcs.org/content/distinguished-dissertations-2013 (British Computer Society) (BCS) and recent newspaper article (Irish Times) http://www.irishtimes.com/sponsored/blis-where-imagination-meets-engineering-1.2340485 and University Convocation Executive: http://www.ulster.ac.uk/secretary/secretariat/convocation/convocationmembers.html; more are included under "Interviews"; even more are being added --c.f. a simple Google search on "Paul Mc Kevitt"
Notable-academic (Professor Test wp:academics): A reference link to Google scholar http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=U5bPoGgAAAAJ&hl=en (independent source by Google) has been added showing a list of ~200 peer-reviewed publications in international academic journals, conferences and books with associated citations: Google Scholar Citation indices All Since 2010; Citations 1744 1243; h-index 17 10; i10-index 34 11
Notable-academic (Professor Test wp:academics): More references are being added to ALL sections; the Research work of a Full Professor with his/her Ph.D. students is very relevant (NOT extraneous), particularly in the field of Computer Science; and if you care to look at/study other notable biographies (particularly in Computer Science) you will see that they ALL include research work with former Ph.D. students; how could one possibly be Editor-in-Chief of a key academic journal in the field (Artificial Intelligence Review, Springer) for 12 years (1996-2008) and publish 7 peer-reviewed books with key academic publishers (John Benjamins; Springer) and over 200 peer-reviewed publications in international academic journals, conferences and books and organise the key British (10th Anniversary AISB-1995) and Irish (AICS-97) conferences and 2 workshops at the main USA conference (AAAI-94) and the key international contest (23rd International Loebner Prize Contest, 2013) together with international invited keynote lectures in the field and international education & appointments (Ireland, USA, England, Denmark, France) and research paper, ″Digital image steganography: Survey and analysis of current methods″, ranking as second most downloaded article in the International Journal, ″Signal Processing″ (Elsevier) otherwise; link to LinkedIn page and social network pages are allowed if referring to the subject; --the creators have studied wp:rs and know that a LinkedIn page and the subject's own academic peer-reviewed writings are RS when backed-up with many other RS citations, patents, newspaper articles, press releases, interviews in relation to the subject's work described as a primary focal topic; the vast majority of the 57 Reference citations given in the article conform to wp:rs; how does it read like a CV any more than others' biographies ? --over 200 peer-reviewed academic publications and 3 peer-reviewed patents with RS citations is clearly NOT marginal nor is Google scholar: Citation indices All Since 2010; Citations 1744 1243; h-index 17 10; i10-index 34 11; as for significant awards/illustrious positions, these are also listed on the page:
Whilst at University of Sheffield, Mc Kevitt was awarded one of two 5-year UK EPSRC Advanced Fellowships in Information Technology (1994), the other being awarded to Jon Oberlander at University of Edinburgh, Scotland. The focus of the fellowship was research on integration of natural language, speech and vision processing.
--this is a significant award !
New Mexico State University Centennial Researcher Award (1988); New Mexico Legislature Research Fellowship (1986-1988)
--this are also awards ! Also, this too:
He was awarded (with Dr. Abbas Cheddad, Dr. Kevin Curran & Dr. Joan Condell) the Northern Ireland Science Park (NISP) 25K Awards, Hi-Tech category award (2009) for Steganoflage (SDW digital watermarking), [24] a demo of which can be seen here: Steganoflage
The article and its reliable sources clearly demonstrate the notability of the subject's academic work as well as the subject himself and, more importantly, subject as notable as 100s of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons already existing in Wikipedia -- Wikipedia must strive for a level playing field and equitability if it is to be considered a fair encyclopedic knowledge representation without prejudice...
REMINDER: Subject clearly satisfies the wp:academics Professor Test for notability; (QUOTE from wp:academics under ″Criteria″ for notability: ″Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable″....); in fact, the subject satisfies MOST of the 9 conditions for notability, not just one !! :)
