 * Delete. Citability is too low, and looking at the CV, there is nothing else there to indicate passing WP:PROF at this point. Nsk92 (talk) 19:05, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. No indication of WP:PROF or other notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:23, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Cited 51 times with an h-index of 5. He only has one coauthor, so difficult to do subfield authorship comparisons, but I don't think that's even necessary. Pretty clearly does not meet PROF or other notability criteria. JoelleJay (talk) 02:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As per above. Cuoxo (talk) 15:56, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete being the child of a former head of the Federal Reserve is not a sign of notability. That is the only way Akerlof would pass notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:44, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
