• If it can be sourced, it meets WP:PROF point 5.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:00, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: How is someone with a named chair at Harvard failing NPROF? The article needs sourcing but the subject clearly has presumed notability. And the claim is sourced, a primary source is sufficient for a simple factual claim like this; though the article should have other sources, the factual claim that establishes notability is not in any serious doubt. - Astrophobe (talk) 20:09, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Snow keep. Easily verifiable: [1]. Clear pass of WP:NPROF#C5 at Harvard, no less. Glane23, please withdraw this nomination. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 20:10, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Can't argue here. Apparently WP:PROF is the only guideline which a person can completely fail the basic litmus test for notability to be included WP:N and yet still be notable just because they are a member of academia. Must be nice to not have to be held to higher standards than this. Significant coverage be damned. Is that a primary source? Meh, who cares, they are a professor, scholar or and a member of the superior caste of academia. --ARoseWolf 20:47, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep WP:SNOW per above. –Cupper52^Discuss! 20:52, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Clearly fits WP:NPROF under criterion 5: named chair. Was previously sourced but changed under this revision.--Caorongjin (talk) 20:53, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Although I’ve voted already, the nominatior is wrong. It DOES cite sources when you said it didn’t. –Cupper52^Discuss! 20:57, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article was unsourced at the time of nomination. As well as failing to perform WP:BEFORE and look for outside sources, and as well as failing to correctly apply WP:PROF, the nominator appears to have failed to look at the article history, in which a WP:SPA stripped the article of its sources an hour before the nomination. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy keep, bad nomination, obvious and easily verifiable pass of WP:PROF and probably also WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:14, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
