Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Herchel Smith Professorship of Pure Mathematics
The article passes  and is therefore notable. We have a large number of individual articles on Cambridge professorships - see :Category:Cambridge Professorships. This article is already listed in List_of_professorships_at_the_University_of_Cambridge, so a "merge" would be identical to a delete here - all content would be lost. The argument that this particular chair is not notable simply because it was established only 5 years ago does not hold water for me. How old must a chair be and how many holders must it have to become "notable" ? I see no sensible objective cut-off point here
