The result was keep. Consensus was that the subject meets
WP:NPROF (presumably C1).
weak keep no clear indication of
WP:GNG if he is truly an "expert" on smart cities there should be some international coverage to support this. However, citations are decent in a low-citation field with 8 papers with 100+ citations so according to
WP:NPROF I think he would pass the bar. --

Chiro725 I agree with the citations, but how does he pass NPROF#6 ? I dont think that he "has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.". --

Hannes Röst I am free to change my vote. I thought "Ballon is the director of SMIT (Studies on Media, Innovation and Technologies), a research group that is affiliated with VUB and IMEC, and the scientific director of the Knowledge Centre Data & Society" this may qualify for
WP:NACADEMIC#6.

Chiro725 NPROF#6 is usually reserved for the president of a university (highest-level elected office), but this he is clearly not. Basically being the "director of a research group" does not mean more than just being a professor that gave his research group a fancy name. To fulfill NPROF#6 he would have to become president of VUB. Btw, he could meet NPROF#5 as a named chair. In either case, I think the citations may just be enough to clear the bar. --
