Does not meet WP:NECONOMIST, could not find any coverage to establish notability. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 16:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep. Plenty of citations on Google Scholar, enough for WP:PROF, and plenty of reviews of his many books, enough for WP:AUTHOR. I don't think being a full professor at LSE provides automatic notability through WP:PROF or otherwise, but it is certainly suggestive. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * PS RePEc lists him in the top 100 economists in the UK, out of some 4600 listed. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep From the citations in G-Scholar and his publishing history (some of his books are in their 3rd or later editions, and I presume they are being used as textbooks) he easily meets WP:ACADEMIC. I am concerned that we do not have sources for the biographical information - however, all of that is found in his CV. Although that is not independent it is at least a source, so I'm going to source the bio paragraph to that document, hoping that something better will come along.

 * Thanks. I think for basic biographical claims that are not disputed or dubious, a cv is fine as a source, per WP:BLPSELFPUB. It doesn't contribute to notability, but that's not the point of using it. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:25, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
