Keep. WP:BEFORE. It takes one rudimentary search to find a detailed William Grimes-written news obit in The New York Times describing him as "a leading scholar of Byzantine and Slavic history and literature" and noting his unusual collaboration with George Orwell in the creation of the first Ukranian edition of Animal Farm along with other notable works. [1] And here's an equally detailed Boston Globe obit.[2] Passes WP:ACADEMIC and WP:GNG easily. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:37, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- clear pass of WP:PROF & WP:GNG. In addition to the obits listed above, the Harvard Gazette has an in-depth article: Longtime Harvard professor and Byzantine specialist dies at 87. Plenty of citations in GBooks. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
