 * Keep As he holds a named chair (according to the linked Stanford bio page), the article meets criteria 5 of WP:PROF. The article requires expansion and improvement so maintenance tags rather than deletion is the way to go. Fæ (talk) 19:21, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. He clearly passes WP:PROF but we also need to worry about whether there is enough information about him in reliable sources to support an article. I think there is; I have been working on expanding it from the sub-stub state it was in when it was nominated to a more viable stub, and have added several sources as the basis for the expansion. Most of them are from his employer, but since we're relying on them to support uncontroversial factual information about him that should be ok. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:25, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep on above basis. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:11, 1 August 2010 (UTC).
 * Speedy Keep as nobody else has spoken for deletion of the article, and I, the nominator of the AfD, now see that this article does meet WP:PROF. --Slon02 (talk) 20:32, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
