[edit] Tom Chiu (statistician)

I am renominating this for deletion after it survived last month. This appears to be a vanity entry. "Tom Chiu" paired with SPSS scores 22 Google hits, some of which are mirrors of Wikipedia content. This page mentions his title and describes a fairly typical employee role. Vanity suspected here. In the previous VFD, it appeared this entry would be voted out as a standard vanity delete, but towards the end, two editors without explanation voted keep. It would be helpful this time if all voters provided a reason for their decision. lots of issues | leave me a message 18:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Normally I'd be concerned about a month-long gap between nominations, but with five votes total and two unexplained keep votes (one of them being very weak) I think this is an appropriate re-nomination. Delete, does not assert notability, though I am curious why Markaci and JuntungWu voted to keep. Chiu appears to have presented research at an ACM data mining conference and other conferences, but "tom chiu" "data mining" yields only 11 unique hits, and there's nothing that I've found that indicates that research is Chiu's main activity or that he's been active enough to warrant an article. Looks like he's got a technical job and has had some work published in professional journals or presented at conferences. Under that criterion, most of my co-workers (and me) qualify for articles, too. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 18:35, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
