I couldn't establish that this meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. It has been in CAT:NN for 14 years; hopefully we can now resolve this. Boleyn (talk) 08:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No coverage other than book listings on various sites, might have a pass at AUTHOR, but I can't find reviews. Oaktree b (talk) 12:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The page needs improvement but should be kept. This is an educator who has spent most of his professional career in architectural practice in an impactful way within the city of Seattle; see C7 of WP:NPROF. In addition his book with Kevin Kane, Statics and Strengths of Materials for Architecture and Building Construction; 3rd Ed.,(Prentice Hall, 2006), didn't go into multiple editions by accident - it's been used at lots of colleges and universities, which speaks to C4 of WP:NPROF. A distinguished chair and an annual studio have been named in his honor at the University of Washington, which are closely connected to C5 of WP:NPROF. See https://onouye.be.uw.edu/ and https://arch.be.uw.edu/people/barry-s-onouye/ and https://openpublishing.library.umass.edu/btes/article/id/1928/. Qflib (talk) 19:32, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per Qflib - he's not exactly famous but his career has been impactful, and seems to squeak by the requirements in WP:PROF. Llajwa (talk) 21:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
