 * Keep - He is a 2017 recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant, a hugely prestigeous award in the United States. He is also the author of a number of important scientific papers including one that has been cited by 1608 authors and many more that have been cited by over 100. This means he is of considerable influence in his field and therefore meets WP:PROF. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't tell us that. It doesn't mention the article. Rathfelder (talk) 20:46, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

 * WP:SNOW keep. There's so little chance of us deleting an article on a MacArthur Genius winner that it seems pointless even to continue the debate. And the multiple heavily cited papers in his Google scholar record make clear that there is no case for BIO1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:09, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep (as creator). Aside from the fact that he won a very prestigious award, isn't holding a named professorship also deemed notable for academics? Natureium (talk) 20:11, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Usually not for named assistant professorships. But there's plenty of other cause for notability here. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:13, 1 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Happy to withdraw. Rathfelder (talk) 23:05, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
