Keep. Academics can be notable for their appearance in the popular press, but more often are notable for their academic achievements. Floreano has quite a respectable publication and citation record. For some third-party publications specifically about Floreano's work, see e.g. Dorigo, Marco; Colombetti, Marco (1997), "Reply to Dario Floreano's Engineering Adaptive Behavior", Adaptive Behavior, 5 (3–4): 417–420; Lipson, H.

Keep as per David Eppstein. In addition, Floreano is on the Editorial Boards of 8 journals, a good indication that his peers find him notable in his field. Both Web of Science and Google Scholar list many publications, with reasonable (WoS) to very good (GS) citation rates. --Crusio (talk) 08:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per David Eppstein. -- ¿Amar៛^{Talk to me/My edits} 11:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Featured in important journals. Rama (talk) 12:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per David Eppstein and Crusio. This looks like a serious academic to me, with solid publication record, employment at a top University, and with impact outside academia, to boot. Turgidson (talk) 00:29, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
