[edit] Marshall Van Alstyne

• Conditional keep - is this a notable award, as required by WP:PROF? - National Science Foundation Career Award. MER-C 13:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I followed the link he gives, and there's about 20 per US state per year. It's not really a prize, more of a state-sponsored funding system (http://www.nsf.gov). So in my opinion, no. yandman 13:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

A Career award is a fairly prestigious research grant, but I don't think something that in itself is enough. Career awards are given exclusively to junior academics with strong potential, so they don't imply much on their own. Mangojuice^talk 17:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - what swings me are the best paper awards. Those would be important publications per WP:PROF. Mangojuice^talk 17:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, this one is pretty close to being notable but doesn't quite make the cut. He may be as notable as the average professor, but he has to be more notable, and he's not. Vectro 23:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
