- Speedy keep miserable failure of a deletion nomination, basically WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE, with no attempt at evaluation by WP:PROF. He clearly passes #C5 (named chair) based only on the text of the article as nominated, and even a cursory search of Google Scholar also shows heavy enough citations to pass #C1. — David Eppstein ( talk) 18:56, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy keep As noted above, he passes WP:PROF#C1 and C5, and the nomination makes no attempt to argue otherwise. XOR'easter ( talk) 19:47, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy keep Named chair - obvious pass of WP:PROF, nevermind citations, etc. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 20:01, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep He holds a named chair at a major university so he clearly meets the academic notability guidelines. There is no reason however to speedy this discussion.

- Comment I for one was thinking of speedy under WP:SKCRIT #3. It may yet turn into a WP:SNOW in any case. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 19:22, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Nomination does not explain a legitimate reason for deletion, the subject clearly meets NPROF. WP:SNOW would be apt. PainProf ( talk) 22:34, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Clear pass of WP:Prof#C1. Nominator should carry out WP:Before before making further nominations. Xxanthippe ( talk) 02:41, 24 August 2020 (UTC).
