So before nominating this article for deletion, I consulted with, who has expertise in evaluating academic-related BLPs. They also expressed doubts about the subject meeting our WP:N. I've also conducted a BEFORE search and found nothing that could help establish GNG. Fwiw, this is a PROMO BLP! — Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 14:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC) This is is embarrassing so I'll withdraw this nomination. --— Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 11:09, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Economics,  and United Kingdom.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per heavy citations on Google Scholar and WP:PROF, and per named professorship at Harvard (Sumitomo-Foundation for Advanced Studies on International Development Professor of International Finance and Development at the Harvard Kennedy School) and #C5. Note that notability through WP:PROF is independent of GNG and does not involve depth of sourcing. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * David Eppstein, This is awkward! . I must admit I only conducted a GNG check and consulted @SouthernNights for WP:NPROF, who said it doesn't meet the WP:N, and then I proceed to nominate this BLP for deletion. But now you're claiming that it meets WP:NPROF. @SouthernNights, Could I ask you  for clarification on this, please. —  Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 18:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per Named professorship at Harvard: shortcut criterion to academic notability. No disrespect to Saqib who simply received incorrect advice in this case.  -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 19:45, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. The page clearly needs a couple of edits to show it more clearly but as David says, this subject clearly meets WP:NPROF in at least two categories; one is enough. Qflib (talk) 20:46, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly passes WP:NACADEMIC #5. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:21, 25 June 2024 (UTC)


 * It happens. I did take the opportunity to tune up the article a bit so as to make significance clearer and to improve its flow. So, as we've seen before, an Afd can sometimes lead to a better article. Cheers! Qflib (talk) 15:36, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
