342:, his Ph.D. thesis has picked up over 100 citations (would be respectable for a research paper in this area, and unremarkable for a survey paper, but quite high for a thesis) and his proof-number search paper is also well cited (80 citations; I believe Google scholar more than Web of Science's 27 cites listed above, because Web of Science doesn't index conferences which are where much CS research is published). But this is all still quite a bit less than most kept academic AfDs. —
195:#5. "Proof-Number Search" by Allis LV, Vandermeulen M, Vandenherik HJ (Artificial Intelligence, Vol:66 Issue:1 Pp:91-124, Published: March 1994) has been cited 27 times according to Web of Science, which is quite high for these kinds of things. You get quite a few more hits when searching by "Allis LV" / "LV Allis" than you do under his full name. The guy does seem to have originated at least one significant concept and is widely cited.

Although just one paper with 27 citations, is is well under the notability threshold, there is also a book,"Herik, J. v. d., & Allis, V. (1992). ed. Heuristic programming in artificial intelligence 3: the third computer
Olympiad. New York: Ellis Horwood." and a few other articles. It is

I think moving at this stage is just going to throw a bunch of things out, so I'd leave until until after the AFD. People reading the AFD, from now on anyhow, will hopefully read the debate to date before commenting.

338:. I'd heard of him in the context of computer solution of games prior to seeing this AfD, which doesn't mean much but I think is more than zero. According to
150:- Allis Ph.D. thesis was "Searching for Solutions in Games and Artificial Intelligence", which is quoted by other scientific article 42 times, according to
