Too few citations for an electrical engineer. Google Scholar shows highest citation count of 52 for the article "Volterra-Wiener functionals for the analysis of nonlinear systems". Doesn't pass WP:PROF or WP:GNG either. Solomon 7968 14:00, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've started some cleanup on the article but it still needs more. Probably the nominator missed in the middle of the wall of text the fact that he was president of what a published obit calls "China's largest university"; that's an automatic pass of WP:PROF#C6. And as a member of Academia Sinica he also passes #C3. It looks likely to me that he passes #C2 as well. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:57, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- PS. As a member of the National Assembly of Taiwan he probably passes WP:POLITICIAN. He founded two major cultural institutions and his literary and musical works are possibly enough for notability there as well. And there's a museum dedicated to him in mainland China. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:16, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, —☮JAaron95 ^Talk 14:34, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes several criteria, like WP:NACADEMICS # 6 (was president of of a major university) and WP:NPOL # 1 (was a member of a national legislative body) Kraxler (talk) 00:14, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have no expertise with WP:PROF but Ku clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN as a member of a national legislature. Much thanks to David Eppstein for extensive improvements to the article since it was nominated. • Gene93k (talk) 20:47, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
