The one source is the ''Biographical Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences'', which only publishes biographies of National Academy members. Membership in the academy is an automatic pass of #C3. Speedy because the nomination is extremely faulty: the nominator does not even appear to have considered our criteria for academic notability, relying instead on the wrong notability criterion, and has completely misunderstood the relation between the publisher of the biography and the subject as one of employment rather than as membership in a highly selective academic society. As well, the nominator has misunderstood even the wrong (general) notability criterion, and based the nomination only on the sourcing of the article itself without applying  to look for other sources, which are not hard to find https://www.ias.ac.in/public/Volumes/jbsc/031/02/0195-0200.pdf https://minds.wisconsin.edu/handle/1793/66089 https://doi.org/10.1080/00275514.1988.12025588 https://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/libr/finding_guide/raperwb2.asp.html
