 * Keep Many sources, clear claim of notability, well written. Not having an observatory has nothing to do with notability, which doesn't dissipate over time. --Gimme danger (talk) 23:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. What Gimme danger said. Also, as a member of the Royal Society of Canada (it says here) he passes WP:PROF #3, and his work on Cygnus X-1 is very likely enough for WP:PROF #1. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * (ec) Keep. Sufficient independent sources to satisfy WP:PROF. (Besides his meeting of criterion 1, his election to the Royal Society of Canada—not mentioned in the article—satisfies criterion 3.) Deor (talk) 00:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Snowball Keep shouldn't have been nominated, pretty darn clearly notable.--Buridan (talk) 00:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Of course the subject is notable. He discovered the first black hole. GS tops cites are166, 136,132. Note that prodder is a self-confessed sock, although this does not affect notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC).


 * Note: Nominator has been blocked indefinitely for abuse of editing privileges so this might qualify for a speedy close, in addition to both Speedy Keep and Snow Keep. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 01:49, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
