Notability
What is so notable of this person above and beyond any normal university professor; they all write books, appear on television, publish articles (>100 peer reviewed articles is not exceptional for a professor; this guy seems to have to add conf proceedings and reports to achieve 100). The only claim to notability beyond his normal job profile is being mentioned professor of the year by a commercial biographical information publisher International Biographical Centre; which has dozens of such awards every year. (not wanting to doubt good faith I think it is striking the original article was put up by an editor named feelab1, which happens to be the name of the lab this professor founded and is director of; which makes me wonder about potential conflict of interest of the original creator of the article).
