Notability edit

Hmmm, I don't see much citations on Google Scholar. Nothing in Google Books. User:Randykitty, what's your thought on this bio passing WP:PROF? Shoudl we AfD it? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:13, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Not sure. The article doesn't do a good job of showing notability. GScholar gives low citation rates, but this is not a high-citation field, so that doesn't necessarily mean there is no notability. He has published several books with reputable publishers, so perhaps a search for book reviews would render some sources that would make him meet WP:AUTHOR. The guest professorships (assuming they can be sourced) are an indication that something may be here, although I doubt that in itself this would be enough to meet WP:NPROF. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 11:57, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I believe this passes WP:AUTHOR. I will add the reviews to the article in the next couple of days. The fact that the subject has a de.wiki article is also a good indicator of notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:37, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
