Notability. While Satterthwaite may be known for his theorems, few alternative secondary sources exist about him. Non-notable topics with closely related notable articles (for this topic articles include: Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem, Muller–Satterthwaite theorem, and Myerson–Satterthwaite theorem) or lists are often merged into those pages, while non-notable topics without such merge targets are generally deleted. I have failed to find sufficient sources to demonstrate the notability of this subject. On 13 Feb 2018, I posted on the talk page calling for good faith efforts to determine notoriety, find additional sources, to then attempt to merge any independently-verifiable content into a broader article, however no such information appears to have been found and thus this article meets the criteria for deletion.

Keep. Easy passes of WP:Prof#C1 and WP:Prof#C5. Nominator should carry out WP:Before before making further nominations. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:00, 30 November 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Keep per above, the citations for individual papers are very impressive as well, including a couple over 3000 by Google scholar's count. —siro χ o 06:08, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep. Beyond the above (and the multiple earlier named chairs listed by his faculty bio), he has a double pass of WP:PROF#C3 evident in the article at the time of nomination, through fellowship in the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (by far the better of the two AAAS's). It's not a long article. You should read it before nominating it for deletion, and understand how what you read relates to our academic notability standards. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:09, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets multiple NPROF criteria and in addition having his name in several notable theorems further reinforces notability. --Mvqr (talk) 12:29, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
