Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Pentland
Definitely notable as an academic per  and probably notable under  as well, although better sourcing is needed in the article. A quick GoogleScholar search shows that his work is extremely highly citedhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Alex%20Pentland%22&sa=N&tab=ns with top citation hits of 4606, 1906, 918, 449, 415, 415, 398, 380, etc. I also did a WebOfScience search and got similar (but slightly smaller since WoS does not index citations in conference proceedings, but only in journals) numbers. Also he is frequently mentioned and quoted in conventional media as an academic expert: googlenews gives 121 hits for himhttp://news.google.com/archivesearch?tab=sn&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Alex+Pentland%22 and there appears to be sufficient coverage there to pass  as well
