Comment: Did not meet  or . Found no independent sources with any significant information about him. (The article cites some publications from Boston University, which is his employer, and while they may be reliable should not be considered "independent" for purposes of notability). I found nothing about him in academic literature, though I admittedly searched very little, as I found nothing but false positives on scholar.google.com (his name is very common). He has had a book and many articles published, but that's true of many authors, and doesn't establish notability.

The number of mentions, and the repetition that it's one of the largest exchanges, absolutely establishes that it's an important company, but that's different than being a ''notable'' company as Wikipedia defines it. It's rare to have such a wide difference between the two, but the requirement for significant coverage from these types of sources is so that there is verifiable information about a subject on which to base an article
