Does not appear to meet WP:NBIO or WP:ACAD. Only thing that comes close to WP:GNG is a obituary in Popular Astronomy from 1948. nf utvol (talk) 15:33, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator. Discovery of book reviews make sufficient case for WP:AUTHOR and papers published brings bare minimum for WP:NPROF, especially considering pre-internet era.nf utvol (talk) 00:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. As well as the two obituaries already listed in the article, I added six reviews of two books, making a weak case for WP:AUTHOR (weak because one is an edited volume). I think for an academic of his pre-internet time, that's enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:12, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per above, and NASA ADS shows he has a fairly extensive list of papers published (~72), in most cases as sole author. Praemonitus (talk) 23:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
