Comment: Decline based on Tutwakhamoe's source assessment and literature (non) search results that are, at best, eclipsed by a lesser economist ~Kvng (talk) 23:03, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I wasn't able to access all the cited sources, but the ones accessible online did not look suitable, as many did not mention the subject and the others only have trivial mentions or otherwise unsuitable for proving notability (self publications).
