Apparently non-notable scientist; fails WP:PROF/WP:BIO due to a lack of substantial coverage in reliable third-party sources. See also the related Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Non-notable EPFL robots. Sandstein (talk) 00:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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. (2001), "Uncontrolled Engineering: A review of Nolfi and Floreano's Evolutionary Robotics" (PDF), Artificial Life, 7 (4): 419–424; Di Paolo, E. A. (2002), "Review of "Evolutionary Robotics" by S. Nolfi and D. Floreano", Connection Science, 14: 88–91; Pham, D. T. (2002), "Book Reviews: Evolutionary Robotics", Robotica, 20: 569–571, doi:10.1017/S0263574702234232; Parsons, Simon (2004), "Book Review: Evolutionary Robotics", The Knowledge Engineering Review, 19: 381–383, doi:10.1017/S0269888905230357; etc. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
