 * Comment I don't have time for a deep dive today, but it appears that Ferguson held a named chair up until his retirement in 2015, being Franklin Professor of Landscape Architecture. In addition, he was elected a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 1994 (verifiable through ). This suggests a pass of WP:PROF and WP:PROF.

 * Keep OK, I'm convinced. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 14:35, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep the endowed professorship takes him past WP:PROF. if you drop the "K" and search with keywords, news articles cite him as an expert on designing landscapes using porous concrete or paving blocks in paved areas to improve drainage and prevent flooding, and on channeling runoff from parking areas and streets through natural ecosystems containing bacteria that eat oils and chemicals that otherwise  contaminate streams and rivers.

 * Keep per XOR'easter and E.M.Gregory. Satisfies WP:PROF. James500 (talk) 00:14, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: meets WP:PROF; I've removed the heavily promotional section, preserving it on the article's Talk page. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:05, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think the recognition (two society fellows and a couple of other awards) now sourced in the article is enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:59, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Appears to easily meet WP:NPROF. Papaursa (talk) 23:25, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This source is adequate enough for passing GNG. Excelse (talk) 06:34, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment This should be a warning to everyone to avoid AfDs on their first week back. Time for WP:SNOW?- intelati talk 07:51, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
