The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. I am grateful that this nomination at least spurred some improvement to the article. I really did research the name myself and found next to nothing, so thank you to the editors that did the work. ( non-admin closure) JimKaatFan ( talk) 15:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC) reply

• Comment. Per WP:AFDHOWTO, I have left a neutrally worded notification of this AfD on the creator's talk page. @ JimKaatFan: It is standard practice to do this; if you use Twinkle to create your AfD it will automatically notify the article creator.

• Snow/speedy keep. Really, a named chair at Oxford, come on. Certainly passes WP:PROF#C5. Incidentally, also passes WP:PROF#C6 as a past president of a major society. I have added a section to the article with some biographical data. Recommend that the nominator quickly withdraw this nomination. Nsk92 ( talk) 16:15, 24 September 2020 (UTC) reply
