Fellowship in the Royal Anthropological Institute (FRAI) would be a pass of #C3 but I can't find him in their directory https://www.therai.org.uk/rai-directory-of-fellows. And I can't find any evidence that the American Anthropological Association has or had Fellow as an elevated membership class in the sense of #C3 — they offer "fellowships" but that means funding for research visits, not an honor for distinguished research. With one well-cited publication ("Prestige and Culture: A Biosocial Interpretation") in which he is in a middle position among 15 co-authors, and everything else much farther down in citation counts, I can't see a pass for #C1 — yes, this subject has very different citation patterns than biomedicine, so we can't take this record as meaning that he isn't notable, but it also isn't evidence that he is. And directorship of the Ethnological Museum, Chittagong sounds significant but the article makes clear that it was only for a short term while the museum was still in its planning stages, long before it opened to the public. So I don't see a basis for keeping the article. But I'd be happy to change my mind if the FRAI or fellowship of the AAA can be confirmed, or if other evidence of notability turns up
