Comment: mdash; I recall his "Geometric Unity" making a fairly big splash in the pop-science media at the time (2013), mostly on account of all the scientists saying how unprofessional the whole affair was. (Some sample reactions collected here: https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/05/26/this-is-not-science/.) And after that splash, it sank without a trace. So, while one might plausibly argue that he is notable for his notoriety, I am sympathetic to the argument that that incident was |one event, without sustained interest. I don't think his ideas about gauge theory and economics have attracted enough attention to make Weinstein notable by #C1. The CV on his website is http://www.eric-weinstein.net/CV/Eric_Weinstein_CV_July_17_2003.pdf ancient (2003 (!)), and checking the papers listed there on GS, the citation counts are 10, 42, 120, and 18 (GS couldn't find some of them at all

Comment: I don't think one can make case here for notability on  grounds, but the subject does pass  and . This is not a 1E situation. There has been plenty of coverage of him in the media over the years quite unrelated to the 2013 "theory of everything" episode. E.g. here is a 2015 Capital Public Radio in-depth piece specifically and in detail about him http://www.capradio.org/articles/2015/03/20/talking-about-death-over-dinner/ Talking About Death Over Dinner. He was also a key figure in the August 2017 Google memo story& controversy about the treatment of women in Silicon Valley and the Tech Industry. Here are a few samples https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/people-responded-perfectly-to-mathematicians-sexist-tweet-about-that-google-memo_us_5989c2eae4b0a66b8baeb3d5 People Responded Perfectly To Mathematician’s Sexist Tweet About That Google Memo, http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Eric-Weinstein-Google-memo-Twitter-daughter-HR-11745168.php 'Stop teaching my girl to complain to HR' tweet raked on Twitter. Etc. There are many other examples where he is quoted in the media because of his role as the Managing Director of Thiel Capital. Overall there is certainly enough coverage, in depth, detail and in duration, to satisfy  and
