Prodded; I did find a source that gives some degree of verification, but I have no idea whether the awards listed are notable. I'm sending it here without a recommendation one way or another about deletion, so others can figure it out it. The book is clearly notable, but he's only one of the four authors.

 * Wikipedia currently has no article on the ACM Programming Languages Award, and it would really help if the creator specified which ACM we're talking about (presumably this one, but I need to make sure), as currently I cannot find any coverage of this award under that name. As for the AITO Dahl-Nygaard Prize, the prize itself doesn't seem notable, even though several of its recipients are.
 * As for googling this name without specifying an organization, we have to keep in mind that a former US ambassador to Iran with the same name is getting a lot of coverage, and that means a lot of false positives. I would say Delete and create a page on the diplomat. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 19:26, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. This fellow has not been significant enough to have secondary writings about him, so ditch it, non notable, as they say per GN... Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 01:43, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and agree with Blanchard that a page on the ambassador of the same name is probably appropriate. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
