- Keep: I'm seeing some high-citation articles from Google Scholar, which suggests a WP:NACADEMIC#1 pass. This is a high-citation field, but my guess is that 11 articles with over 1,000 citations would be sufficient even for machine learning? A more thorough check on Web of Science and Scopus, plus comparisons with other academics in machine learning may be warranted though. — MarkH21 talk 05:48, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- while his Scopus citations are lower [1], they are still very respectable and > 30k. This is still a significant number even in machine learning. -- hroest 14:33, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Easily passes NPROF#1 per scholar profile. He also quite plausibly passes GNG (there are a whole lot of news items, many with his photo, in google news results though much of these are in Czech).-- Eostrix ( 🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 06:08, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. Clerly passes NPROF#1. Also the article needs some work, it seems to claim that Mikolov somehow decreased the existential risk from artificial general intelligence? That is highly vague and not encyclopedic. -- hroest 14:26, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. I'll run the Scopus citation metrics on his coauthors but I find it highly likely he will still meet C1. JoelleJay ( talk) 01:41, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a high-citation subfield of a high-citation-field but even so these are stellar citation rates, and his top two are first-author papers with an ordering that appears to be meaningful rather than alphabetic. There also appears to be GNG-level coverage of some of his top research [2] [3]. — David Eppstein ( talk) 05:48, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
