Deletion of Graham Kendall

Comment:  criterion #1 is made out ("significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources"), through his work on international journals, conferences, chairing international symposiums, etcetera.  He also meets  criterion #3 ("Fellow of the Operational Research Society").  He also meets the general notability guidelines at .  He's an incredibly distinguished academic and the article should be kept

Comment: Co-chairing two IEEE conferences doesn't really fit any  criterion but it's enough to convince me that he's well-respected in a respectable research area. The citation numbers from Google scholar aren't amazingly amazing but they're not bad, hence the weakness of my keep

Comment: Top GS cites are 158, 85, 84, 82, 61....h index = 23. Clearly passes rof #1. Article is bloated and indulgent: needs to be pruned

Comment: but rewrite from scratch). Everything looks very much like the average professor. He does what professors are supposed to do: writes papers and books, takes part in organising conferences, etc. Citation statistics in Google Scholar look ok but not particularly outstanding (I compared these to the statistics of some local computer science professors, and again he looks more like a typical non-notable professor, not like a particularly notable professor). Organising MISTA is not impressive – indeed, I seem to have tagged the MISTA article with {{tl|notability}} a couple of months ago. http://cec2007.nus.edu.sg/staticPages/Organising%20committee.html Co-TPC-chairing IEEE-CEC 2007 is a bit more impressive – CEC is, e.g., a tier-A conference in the http://www.core.edu.au/rankings/Conference%20Ranking%20Main.html CORE ranking – but he was just one of 6 co-TPC-chairs. He just does not seem to stand out. That said, I didn't find a strong reason for deleting, either; in prior AfDs, people seem to think that even much lower citation rates satisfy  #1. Anyway, a thorough rewrite from a neutral point of view is needed; the current page looks like an unencyclopedic autobio + CV-copy-paste
