 * Delete No reliable sources and no establishment of real notability. It' also a confusingly made mess.&#42;Treker (talk) 14:50, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. If there was a WP:NOT#OBIT I'd cite it. If what we're seeing in the article is all there is to write, then I can't see this passing any notability standard. Looking in the page history, it was nominated for A7 the day of it's creation, but that nomination was rescinded because he won the Volvo Environment Prize, to which I would contest WP:NOTWHOSWHO Tpdwkouaa (talk) 17:06, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Shambles. Stub and rewrite. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:22, 25 March 2016 (UTC).
 * Comment. It is perhaps true that the article in its current form is unsalvageable and should be deleted for that reason (unless somebody completely rewrites it) . However, the subject appears to be notable, both on WP:BIO and WP:PROF grounds. E.g. there were obituaries about his death both in NYT, and in Washington Post . There is a bio page about him at Volvo Environment Prize site , another obit here ,  public lectures about his impact on environmental economics, like this one here . There is also coverage like this one  of something called "Krutilla’s Rule" in environmental economics. There is an entry about Krutilla  in "The Biographical Dictionary of American Economists" published by the Oxford University Press. I'd say there is enough here to pass both WP:BIO and WP:PROF.

 * Keep. Multiple major newspaper obituaries (the kind the newspapers write themselves, not the paid death notice kind) are both a clear pass of WP:GNG and a clear sign of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:35, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per David Eppstein's correct citation of newspaper obits (non-paid) = GNG. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 17:40, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as this seems convincingly enough and I nearly closed it myself. SwisterTwister   talk  06:18, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
