Unreferenced and subject simply does not pass WP:BIO. Looked up "Martin Furer" and "Martin Furer + computer scientist" and found 2 or 3 sources stating that "a pair of Australian mathematicians...", otherwise he's just an educator. I considered moving to draftspace, however I think it's futile if there are no reliable sources to help improve the page. shelovesneo ( talk) 04:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. Would the nominator care to comment if the subject's citation record on Scholar has relevance to WP:Prof#C1. Xxanthippe ( talk) 10:36, 24 August 2023 (UTC).
- Keep, enough highly cited publications [1] to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF#C1. The integer multiplication algorithm is the splashiest (e.g. reported in major mainstream media [2]) but far from the only significant contribution. — David Eppstein ( talk) 13:49, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify. This is a new article and appears to be in good faith, let's give it a chance to breathe before deleting. Professors have several paths to notability. If not draftify, I lean weak keep because we have some signal pointing toward WP:ACADEMIC -- decent citation counts per Google Scholar [3], especially on [4] and [5]. — siro χ o 16:06, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Passes WP:Prof as above. Xxanthippe ( talk) 22:35, 24 August 2023 (UTC).
- weak Keep, decent GS profile for his field, with 7 publication that have 100+ citations this should be good enough to pass WP:PROF#1 even though its a close call. -- hroest 18:18, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I think WP:PROF#C1 is met. XOR'easter ( talk) 17:11, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
