Originally tagged for {{db-a7}} by Vrenator (talk · contribs), but article claims the subject was "one of the founders of growth accounting", which is an assertion of significance and thus makes this article ineligible for A7. However, I don't see this as being notable. Also a potential close paraphrasing issue from the article's only reference which leans my !vote towards delete.

  - Then I think the PDF may be a more reliable one. And his main works can also be Googled. I find some results from Amazon.com.Heinrich ⅩⅦ von Bayern (talk) 13:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. GS cites are 1261, 811, 560, 474.... h index= 12. Looks like a pass at WP:Prof#C1. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:22, 24 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Strong keep. In addition to the clear pass of WP:PROF#C1 noted by Xxanthippe, he may also pass #C3 as a distinguished fellow of the American Economic Association. But even more decisively, he has an NYT obituary crediting him as the inventor of the gross national product. That should settle the issue. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:18, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Xxanthippe and David Eppstein. Nsk92 (talk) 00:49, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
