One reference for this BLP, and it is not even about the person. Unlikely that notability will be established. Page editor claims the subject's bio on the U of Chicago page establishes notability, though it is biased to talk up the subject. AstroCog (talk) 04:27, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - The NY Times article goes into a reasonable amount of detail about the subject, and whether it is nominally "about him" or a monetary gift that he inspired is unimportant in my opinion. The significant media coverage of him in connection with this gift, combined with a large enough body of work to meet criterion #1 of WP:ACADEMIC seals this one for me.

 * Keep (author) - subject is definitely notable with criterion #5 (distinguished professor) of WP:PROF. Jesanj (talk) 05:02, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Per VQuakr and Jesanj. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 05:30, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep with a GS h index of 47 which gives a clear pass of WP:Prof. An absurd nomination and a trout for the nominator. Xxanthippe (talk) 07:09, 25 September 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep Not a great article yet, perhaps, but the subject is clearly a notable academic, as pointed out above. Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 08:04, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Fair enough. I can go ahead and withdraw this AfD nomination since it looks like a snowball keep. AstroCog (talk) 12:41, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
