Weak delete. If there's a notable topic here, it's his flagship theory, internal measurement and not Matsuno himself. Matsuno has written several papers, but there's effectively no discussion of the author himself anywhere. Internal measurement on the other hand, currently has a profoundly terrible article. If Matsuno's article isn't deleted, it may warrant redirecting there. But an awful lot of the sources for internal measurement are not independent of Matsuno (or Rosen, the other author directly related to the theory); I'm not sure there's enough remaining to declare the idea notable in the project's sense of the term.

Comment Because it's relevant to WP:PROF#C8, he is currently editor, but not editor-in-chief, of BioSystems. I am unable to find evidence that he ever held the editor-in-chief position of that journal. XOR'easter (talk) 20:20, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm in favour of keeping the article. For many years, Matsuno is one of the editors of an internationally renowned scientific journal. A wikilink to him exists from the entry of that journal, BioSystems. So it's not an orphan entry. Matsuno has published many papers, at least one of them in the high-ranking journal "Science" in 1999 (cited 315 times). There are so many Wiki entries about living scientists, so why delete this one? Perhaps the section on his scientific work could be refined and written in full sentences.

Redirect to Internal measurement. And if nobody fixes up that article, I don't think it retains notability enough for inclusion either. Smells like a fringe theory, but I'm not a physicist so hard to tell.--Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 17:01, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
