Delete First, the possibility for vanity exists as the article's author was an anonymous IP. In any event, while this professor is quite notable at his University, on the whole notability has not been established. I could write very similar articles about a number of professors I had in college. A line that most clearly demonstrates his lack of notability is this "Russell Impagliazzo has had a big red beard for most of professional life and is recognized by this, at least within the UCSD computer science department." If vanity isn't at work, an over-enthusiastic student is. Soltak 23:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I cleared out some of the cruftier bits. Seriously, this article had to have been submitted by an over-zealous fan, probably a student, as originally a list of his students was included. Delete unless improved in the next five days. If it is, please let me know on my talk page. --Scimitar parley 23:56, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; I think a Guggenheim Fellowship is prestigious enough to make him more than sufficiently notable. It does need a bit of cleanup. &mdash; RJH 18:59, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and see if it develops into something better. (Unsigned by 68.20.179.193)
