No evidence of personal notability, third-party cites are passing mentions. Zero hits on Google News. His great work, Hashgraph is similarly not notable. This is difficult to distinguish from a vanity piece. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hashgraph. David Gerard ( talk) 11:17, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

- Delete - Almost all of the sources mentioning his name seem to be based on press releases and contain little-to-no biographical information. Fails WP:ANYBIO.- Mr X 16:00, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I am unable to find the Google Scholar profile but I found the
DBLP entry. Can anyone find the h-index?--

- On Google scholar, searching for "author:leemon-baird", I find citation counts of 759, 289, 224, 199, 141, 127, 82, 76, etc., with an h-index of 24. —

- Thank you David Eppstein. This seems to be quite a borderline case. I tried the search with "excluding patents" and it gives an h-index of 21. There are a couple of highly cited papers on reinforcement learning, but other than that, I don't find much. Personally I am leaning towards a delete.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 10:08, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

- Delete -- a CEO of a nn company? Pass. Wikipedia is not a free means of promotion, which the page is with its excessive listing of insignificant publications. Fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. K.e.coffman ( talk) 05:06, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
