Notability is not WP:INHERITED from some of its holders being bluelinks, non-independent sources are from within the department. Reywas92Talk 04:10, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. Ok, we laugh about demonstrating notability of chairs through pointing to Nobel-prize-winning chairholders in Articles for deletion/Shell Professor of Chemical Engineering, but this one has two! Some nontrivial coverage that would also allow it to pass GNG, found very easily in a search:
 * An entire book in Spanish about it (I don't know how):
 * An article about another article about the creation of the chair:
 * Nontrivial coverage (four paragraphs) of the original gift in a book-length almanac of Venezuelan events of the time:
 * A couple of paragraphs about the history and selection process of the chair in an article about Nobelist Paz's path to Cambridge:
 * A paragraph in a book about Brazilian studies in the US (not exactly a close fit) calling it prestigious and listing four Brazilian holders of the chair:
 * Description of the chair and a listing of its holders by a research center for Latin American studies in France:
 * A scandal in 2019 over a controversial appointment to the chair:
 * Did you even do any searching for sources before nominating this one, as WP:BEFORE asks? —David Eppstein (talk) 07:37, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes I did. All of the top sources in my search were along the lines of "X is Professor of Political Science and Simón Bolívar Professor of Latin-American Studies" without this coverage of the position itself. My Google Books search brought up publications by these professors and did not include these links. Reywas92Talk 08:13, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
