Notability

[edit]

I think he is notable because he meets WP:ACADEMIC.

He meets many of the WP:ACADEMIC criteria independently, and only needs to meet one. It says:

"Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable...."

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences ...) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.

6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.

He does not have to meet GNG since he meets the above. As the notability guideline makes clear: "failure to meet ... the general notability guideline ... is irrelevant if an academic is notable under this guideline."

I've added even more RSs.

And once a person meets the above criteria - and he does as supported by RSs - it is perfectly fine to fill out his article with his official institutional CV for routine, uncontroversial details.

The guideline makes this clear. "Once the passage of one ... notability criteria has been verified through independent sources, or through the reliable sources listed explicitly for this purpose in the specific criteria notes, non-independent sources, such as official institutional and professional sources, are widely accepted as reliable sourcing for routine, uncontroversial details."
