Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Lu
Initially I thought this would be a straight forward case of a non-notable scientist that should be deleted, but after a little hunting I'm confused, and need some advice before making decision --  this is a tricky case.  Although Peter Lu is just a regular postdoc, based on his average number and citation level of publications, he does appear to qualify for notability under  or  based on his discovery of a “significant new concept”, creation of work that has been the “subject of several independent periodicals” and the “significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources”.  Searching with Google identified many mentions of this individual by name, both on academic websites, scienctifichttp://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_development/previous_issues/articles/2006_02_17/profile_peter_lu and popular press,http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/27/science/27math.html?ref=science newshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6389157.stmhttp://archives.chicagotribune.com/2007/feb/23/science/chi-0702230053feb23http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/02/050213135123.htm and radio stationhttp://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/04-05/apr09.htmlhttp://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7544360 websites. But are these mentions significant enough?  Any views
