Vanity Cite edit
This is such a vanity cite for a former volunteer at Wikipedia. It needs to be taken down. 173.46.66.82 (talk) 10:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
Well, he’s one of only a handful of people to be a four-time Putnam Fellow. Not sure that alone makes him notable, since it’s a student award, but it isn’t nothing.
What has he been up to since the 1980s, though? Everything in this article seems to talk about things he did prior to 1985. Isomorphic (talk) 19:15, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- So what? Someone doesn’t have to be continuously a celebrity for their entire life to be notable enough to fit into Wikipedia. For example, every single entry in the list of one-hit wonders in the United States is definitionally famous for only one song. –jacobolus (t) 22:06, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
Agree. This is just a vanity site. Aside from apparently being some sort of wunderkind as student 50 years ago, there seems to be nothing noteworthy here. SimpsonDG (talk) 13:55, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
Disagree: The man has an erdos number of 1. THat alone would justify this article, leaving out some of the stuff at CalTech. Full disclosure: I know the subject personally. We disagree on many political things, but he strikes me as somebody who will listen to reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bgoldnyxnet (talk • contribs) 05:23, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
