Delete (or redirect/merge to Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics). Doesn't seem to be WP:NOTABLE independent of the Institute. Boleyn (talk) 17:56, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. As nominated the article had no independent sources but I just added four. There's a case to be made for WP:PROF, but I think that (when viewed as a whole together with his work at Perimeter) the book reviews I added for his book are enough for WP:AUTHOR. I also added a source for his post-perimeter work. There are three separate things here (heading Perimeter, writing a book, and founding a web site) so I don't think there's a BIO1E problem. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
