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). He is a H.R. Immerwahr Distinguished Professor of Sociology, which should satisfy criteria 5.
