• Keep. Note: previous AfD is here. Looks like he would pass WP:PROF as a significant figure in the field if the claims here are true ("According to Google Scholar, Martinsons has authored 4 of the 10 most cited articles on Chinese management.", "He has been published in many leading English-language journals and translated into languages such as Chinese, French, Japanese, Latvian, and Russian."). I don't have access to a LexisNexis-type database right now, but some Google hits like [1], [2], [3] are promising. -SpuriousQ (talk) 18:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Full professor at a leading university. As for his papers, using Scopus 33 papers, with the highest ones having 39, 30, 26, 19, 15 hits. h=9 for those who think it means something, I don't know how it compares in this subject. Decent journals, some first rate. What would have been translated would be a book, but LC only has one. I've added this. I've removed some fluff. DGG 02:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Associate prof, not full, according to the one news item I could find related to him (repeated in several publications), a fairly trivial quote about Chinese business leadership. And the article is unsourced and says very little that couldn't be said about any other business professor. But he does seem to be a (or perhaps the) leading expert on Chinese management information systems, a much more specific topic but still of some importance. —David Eppstein 15:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep, 38 works in OCLC and article text establishes notability; RS for impact in the real world would be helpful. John Vandenberg 15:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
