This subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NACADEMIC. His most noteworthy work is a collaboration with two others. Any reliably sourced biographical information about him belongs there maybe. This article was a puff piece before I removed most primary sourcing. It seems few or no unrelated third parties have lent him substantial in-depth coverage.

Keep. Meets WP:NACADEMIC. His professorship is a named professorship and likely endowed. Co-creator of Foster–Greer–Thorbecke indices; the originating paper has almost 9000 cites on GScholar. 21k cites and h-index of 48. One of the chapters in Poverty, Inequality and Development: Essays in Honor of Erik Thorbecke is a biography. A conference was held in his honor. Jfire (talk) 19:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
