Some random guy who studied birds. There are not any sources that are just about him except his Obituary in what I guess is a "trade paper" for birdwatchers. Does not meet WP:GNG MayVenn (talk) 02:56, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. A distinguished professor, head of department at Museum Koenig, author of a major systematising work in his field, influential in his groundbreaking use of cladistics, awarded an honorary doctorate and membership in a foreign learned society. In my view these meet WP:PROF, and it should of course be noted that The Auk is an academic journal of ornithology. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:29, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. This reminds me of a poem by John Lillison: O pointy birds, o pointy pointy, Anoint my head, anointy-nointy. Grayfell (talk) 05:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
