Sources and notability

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Of the nineteen sources on the article one is a "genealogical survey of the peerage", one "an interview", also apparently supporting the last reference and his marriage, and "the rest of the references" appear to be self-references. The paragraph "Gollwitzer is a Fellow of Academia Europaea and of the American Psychological Association as well as a Charter Fellow of the American Psychological Society. He has won a Max Planck Research Award (1990) and a TransCoop Award (1994), which is given by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.", may or may not provide insight to notability but is unsourced.

There needs to be some part of the "professor test" that provides: "When judged against the average impact of a researcher in his or her field, does this researcher stand out as clearly more notable or more accomplished than others in the field?". Otr500 (talk) 11:41, 27 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
