Comment: Not sure how they would meet WP:NPROF?
Granted, WP:NACADEMIC #5 provides for notability based on a named chair, but that means a permanent seat, whereas it would appear that the George Sarton Chair at Ghent, referred to in this draft, is an annual one? DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
