Comment: creator). External links are sufficient references for biographies. They are reliable, and http://www.niss.org/content/kenneth-bollen-0 states that he is "ISI he is one of the World's Most Cited Authors in the Social Sciences". This recognition seems to make him notable in the light of  (criteria 1 and 2), through I am unable to find an independent verification (the claim is repeated on a number of pages, but most of them seem related to the subject; I could add a book cite - {{cite book|author=Yu Xie|title=Sociological Methodology|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=FeGikkJoQ48C&pg=PR9|accessdate=14 August 2013|date=27 October 2009|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-1-4443-3293-3|page=9}} - but he is the author, so it's hardly independent).

Comment: He passes #C1 (highly cited, and much better sourced as highly cited than most passing academics), likely #2 (the sociology award), #3 twice over (AAAS and ASA fellows), and #5 twice over (this is his second named chair), at least. Any one of these would be sufficient for keeping the article. Not even close to a plausible academic deletion candidate. I can only conclude that the nominator is unfamiliar with
