Comment: If a notable mathematical operation is named for someone, they are notable. Probably the Wigner Medal is enough also DGG ( talk ) 05:05, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: You actually need to do the work to show why he is notable. Right now we have nothing. See WP:NACADEMIC Tagishsimon (talk) 19:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
