No evidence nor claim of notability. WP:BEFORE shows passing mentions, nothing with biographical detail. Previous AFD was actually the same guy when he was a student. David Gerard (talk) 12:59, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:19, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:06, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • The cites you added seem to be material for the book's notability - do they cover Weyl himself in any biographical detail? - David Gerard (talk) 19:54, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
not in depth, but multiple WP:RS cover his ideas in depth. Page just needs an editor, or just keep it and wiat for ti to be crowd-sourced.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:37, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
