Fails WP:BASIC—functionally all coverage is related to a single book, The Fat Tail, that he co-authored with Ian Bremmer. He was a visiting professor at Columbia for a period of time, but now apparently works at UBS. Semantic Scholar profile shows no citations in over a decade; most of the other ones are related to the book. Article was created by a single-purpose account.

Redirect to The Fat Tail (which itself needs cleanup, but seems to pass WP:NBOOK at a first glance). XOR'easter (talk) 16:41, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Fat Tail per WP:BIO1E. It's a spammy article about a spammy book but at least the newspaper reviews that it lists provide it with notability. Keat does not appear to be notable as an academic, author, or businessman, but redirects are cheap. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:50, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
