Comment: It seems highly unlikely to me that he doesn't meet notability guidelines, but I don't see sourcing here that shows a notability pass, either. Can you have another look at WP:NPROF and clarify which criteria he meets? Or find more WP:SIGCOV, so that he meets the standard guidelines at WP:NBIO. asilvering (talk) 21:09, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

In 1995, Finkelstein created a novel formulaic approach to Global Governance called "IO Plus," which defined global governance as “all levels of human activity—from the household to the demanding public to the international organization (IO)."[11]
He served on the Ralph Bunche Centenary Commemoration Committee.[12]
Finkelstein was a research employee of the Institute of Pacific Relations from 1949 - 1951, and a contributor to its publications.[13]
