As noted in the article, he's an economics professor who originated a distinction in goods classification. He's linked to from the two articles in question, but no article is given. A quick search of Google Scholar turned up a fair number of articles and citations to his work, and quick search of SUNY turned up his emeritus status. Voila... a stub.

My assumption is that since he was linked, it implied his work was noteworthy enough for a brief article. Someone who knows more should flesh it out. Abb3w 20:48, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

It really needs, at the very least, some reliable sources to avoid deletion. See the notability guidelines for academics. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

this is just enough to escape speedy, since it does assert notability . It is probably not quite enough to main it in WP without at the very least some idea of what he has published. Stubs are valid even if not sourced, by the way, per WP:STUB. DGG (talk) 03:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
