This short article was flagged for 'notability'. The establishment of the chair was noted in a major journal at the time (Nature; 2 separate articles cited); the chair is one of a small number of statutory chairs in the University of Cambridge, and there is just as much detail in this entry as there is in entries for other statutory chairs at the university. So I do not see why this piece should not be eligible for inclusion; along with all of the other statutory chairs. This article contains full links to the existing pages on previous post-holders, and is therefore valuable for navigation. It also explains the history of the post.

The problem is that we lack significant coverage of the subject--the coverage in Nature is minor. My sense regarding the other articles for chairs at Cambridge is that they suffer from the same problems. Notability can almost certainly be established for the departments these professorships belong to, but the professorships themselves don't appear to meet the GNG threshold. signed, Rosguilltalk15:18, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
