Russell Impagliazzo
First AfD in August 2005 was a no consensus with two arguments: 1. Article needs cleanup, and 2. Guggenheim Fellowship bestows notability. Since then nothing has happened to the article itself other than the addition of a picture (seemingly to verify the claim "Russell Impagliazzo has had a big red beard for most of professional life and is recognized by this"). On the Guggenheim, it's a grant rather than an award, and the sheer number of recipients in 2004 makes me doubt it bestows notability. Oh, and most of the links don't work anymore. ~ trialsanderrors 07:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I am tempted to call delete, because of the comment "Keep and see if it develops into something better" from the first AFD. But 578 Google scholar hits is pretty good. Punkmorten 09:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I checked the ISI citation index and he has a modest amount of cites, best is ~100 with three coauthors, and a couple with 50+. I did some cleanup and am going to withdraw this nomination. ~ trialsanderrors 02:02, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
