 * Keep The University of Nebraska absolutely is a major institution, hence meets WP:PROF#5 The article is in a deplorable state, however, and decidedly unencyclopedic ("donated a lot of money"). --Guillaume2303 (talk) 14:52, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF (18 pubs with over 100 citations each in Google scholar) and #C5 (the named chair). —David Eppstein (talk) 18:01, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - easily passes the professor test. U. of Nebraska Medical Center is a major institution. AfD is not for clean-up. Bearian (talk) 21:33, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - More than just a professor (although everybody's got a "distinguished chair" these days) but widely published in the field. The suggestion that Nebraska Medical Center isn't major is bizarre. Shadowjams (talk) 21:43, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Major institution despite nom's claims. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 23:25, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
