The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. I am grateful that this nomination at least spurred some improvement to the article. I really did research the name myself and found next to nothing, so thank you to the editors that did the work. (non-admin closure) JimKaatFan (talk) 15:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, endowed chairs at Oxford pass NPROF easily.--Eostrix (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 15:31, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Per WP:AFDHOWTO, I have left a neutrally worded notification of this AfD on the creator's talk page. @JimKaatFan: It is standard practice to do this; if you use Twinkle to create your AfD it will automatically notify the article creator.

Snow/speedy keep. Really, a named chair at Oxford, come on. Certainly passes WP:PROF#C5. Incidentally, also passes WP:PROF#C6 as a past president of a major society. I have added a section to the article with some biographical data. Recommend that the nominator quickly withdraw this nomination. Nsk92 (talk) 16:15, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
