This article has multiple issues regarding NPOV and Notability. A major contributor to the article seems to be closely connected to the subject. DevSpenpai::talk 15:49, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Leaning keep. Not my area but he holds a named chair and Google Scholar profile shows four works with strong citations (227,212,190,127), suggesting the subject meets WP:PROF. Espresso Addict (talk) 19:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I note that David Eppstein removed a notability tag in July 2020 with an edit summary stating "rm notability tag; obvious pass of WP:PROF#C5". Espresso Addict (talk) 19:45, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. An endowed chair at a major university is a pass of WP:PROF#C5, even in a business school that finds endowments for many of its full professors. With four publications in triple-digit citation counts on Google Scholar, he also has a case for #C1. I trimmed some promotional wording surrounding his textbook coauthorship; I don't think it is good enough for WP:AUTHOR or WP:PROF#C4 because he was only added as a coauthor in the 7th edition, after the book had already become well-established. The material about the De Soto Initiative is also a little promotional in its wording but WP:DINC. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:52, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - while virtually unsourced currently (the single source is now dead, but was active back in 2020), David Eppstein is spot on regarding meeting WP:NPROF, which is why it passed NPP back in 2020. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Appears to pass WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:51, 13 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]
