Notability
[edit]I think he is notable because he meets WP:ACADEMIC.
He meets many of the WP:ACADEMIC criteria independently, and only needs to meet one. It says:
"Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable...."
2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
- [He was awarded the Israel Prize in 1987, the Rothschild Prize in the Social Sciences in 1994, and the EMET Prize in the Social Sciences in 2012.]
3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences ...) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
- [Since 1969 he has been a Fellow of the Econometric Society, since 1988 Yaari has been a foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, since 1991 he has been a Member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, since 1993 he has been a foreign honorary member of the American Economic Association, since 1996 he has been a Fellow of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, he has been the President of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities since 2004, and he has been a Member of the American Philosophical Society since 2008.]
5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.
- [He is the S.A. Schonbrunn Professor of Mathematical Economics at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and was the Chairman of the university's Department of Economics.]
6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
- [He was the President of the Open University of Israel from 1992 to 1997.]
He does not have to meet GNG since he meets the above. As the notability guideline makes clear: "failure to meet ... the general notability guideline ... is irrelevant if an academic is notable under this guideline."
I've added even more RSs.
And once a person meets the above criteria - and he does as supported by RSs - it is perfectly fine to fill out his article with his official institutional CV for routine, uncontroversial details.
The guideline makes this clear. "Once the passage of one ... notability criteria has been verified through independent sources, or through the reliable sources listed explicitly for this purpose in the specific criteria notes, non-independent sources, such as official institutional and professional sources, are widely accepted as reliable sourcing for routine, uncontroversial details."
