*'''Delete''' when the previous keep votes argued the person was notable because of how fast he got his Ph.D. to me that is a screaming sign that he is not notable. People are not notable because they get educated fast, and often people who plow through subjects fast do not have a deep understanding of them. OK, maybe I am biased because it was 9 years between when I started my bachelors degree and completed it, but still nothing shows this person is notable.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 06:19, 6 August 2019 (UTC) |

*'''Keep''' I don't have the time to invest in adding this stuff to the article, but Glen Weyl is a fairly prominent and respected figure. He's widely cited as an inventor of quadratic voting (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/voting-methods/#QuadVotiLiquDemo), he co-authored a popular and influential book (https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Markets-Uprooting-Capitalism-Democracy/dp/0691177503), and he's one of the founders of a new and growing political organization/movement (https://radicalxchange.org/). Just googling his name turns up a large number of news articles and videos. He's also at least as notable as his co-author on Radical Markets, [[Eric Posner]]. [[User:Zhoulikan]] |

*'''Keep''' hot young intellectual needs a better article. Note incoming link from [[Quadratic voting]], a concept Weyl co-created. Recent book was widely reviewed - I added a few of the reviews.[[User:E.M.Gregory|E.M.Gregory]] ([[User talk:E.M.Gregory|talk]]) 19:06, 8 August 2019 (UTC) |
