Proposed deletion[edit]

SmartyPants22 proposed this article for deletion earlier today and I have just removed the PROD template, contesting the proposal. The reason for the PROD was that Kraay was a "non-notable numismatist". The sourcing in this article clearly indicates otherwise. SmartyPants22, did you actually read the Proceedings of the British Academy obituary? Did you not see that there was also an obituary in The Times? (Both of those sources should be enough to pass the GNG benchmark). Didn't you notice that he was elected a fellow of the British Academy? (Which is enough to pass WP:NPROF). —Noswall59 (talk) 12:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]
