Article was deproded without addressing the concern. The only claim for notability is the Whitehead Prize. Yet there is no evidence that the Whitehead prize is a notable award, and that is the only claim to notability in the article. It appears that multiple people receive the Whitehead prize, which is one of multiple prizes given by one of multiple mathematical societies in the U.K. While this may be notable, I can't locate any independent reliable source coverage to establish such notability.

 * Weak keep. I don't think the award by itself is quite enough. But he also seems to have a personal chair at Imperial and enough citations in a low-citation area to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Eppstein. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:49, 21 May 2012 (UTC).
 * Nomination withdrawn - With the discovery of the named chair, even though I am unable to find any coverage of that chair, he appears to pass WP:ACADEMIC. Thank you for turning up that obscure fact, David.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:05, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
