Draft:Alvin Cheung

  • Comment: It is very rare for an associate prof to be considered notable on Wikipedia. While he is off to a good start, he needs a significantly stronger publication record plus national awards (not grants. It will be some years, please don't push too hard.

  • Comment: I beg to differ. A good point of comparison is Andy Pavlo, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon who works in the same field (data management) as Cheung. While Pavlo's papers have more citations than Cheung's, their h-index and i10-index are similar. Besides that, Cheung has arguably a stronger recognition record than Pavlo (one of the notability criteria for academics): both are recipients of the Sloan fellowship and NSF Career Award, but on top of that Cheung is also a recipient of the PECASE Award, the IEEE TCDE rising star award, and the VLDB Early Career Contributions Award. All of these are international recognitions, not grants. So if Pavlo is wiki-notable, then Cheung should be as well. Landau671 (talk) 01:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
