 * Keep passes WP:PROF ("The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research."). One source behind a paywall (headline "Professor earns national award") looks potentially interesting as well, if only I could see it! . BencherliteTalk 05:34, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. The named chair is enough for WP:PROF, and the two published obituaries are enough for sourcing. Also, I found a different article on the award mentioned by Bencherlite. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * withdraw: I'm happy to withdraw this AfD. aprock (talk) 07:04, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
