Does not meet the requirements of WP:GNG. Nothing substantive appears related to him online or in other reliable sources.— Preceding unsigned comment added by KlayCax (talk • contribs) 20:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep As per WP:PROF, this article passes the notability criteria for academics with flying colors. Just a quick check at Google Scholar shows that this Professor has been cited more than 100.000 times [1]. His most cited publication alone stands at above 12.000 cites, and he has 26 publications cited more than 1000 times. That alone would be enough to establish academic notability per WP:PROF. Furthermore, he appears to have received an honorary doctorate from at least three universities, also indicating strong academic notability. I must say that in over 10 years at Wikipedia, I never saw such an obvious keep come up at AfD. Jeppiz (talk) 22:23, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Could even be speedily kept via WP:SK3. A WP:BEFORE search was obviously not conducted. Subject clearly passes WP:NPROF with flying colors via citations and h-index. Curbon7 (talk) 02:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree this needs better sourcing, though. I've added a couple of articles which focus on Grönroos, better than what existed but far from great. /Julle (talk) 09:18, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
