Keep - meets WP:ACADEMIC criteria 1 & 6. Can't see any contentious statements, but I added a cite for his position and a {{cn}} tag for his research. Claritas § 22:35, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lets do the usual and look for author:"Eugène Cremmer" in GS. No cites at all. Cites unclear.
Keep in view of cites found below. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Keep I don't see any evidence of him meeting #6. "Research Director" at the CNRS is just an academic rank, roughly equivalent to associate/full professor (there are two subgrades: DR2 and DR1, the latter being equivalent to full professor). Cremmer is DRCE: "Directeur de recherche classe exceptionelle". This is a rank above DR1 that is attained by perhaps 5-10% of all CNRS personnel. (Sorry, but I cannot give a link for this, as I got this from the internal CNRS database "LABINTEL"). According to the link given in the article he's emeritus, according to LABINTEL he's still active. According to the link in the article, he was director of a CNRS lab during 4 years. All this is pretty good, but doesn't meet WP:PROF #6. However, he clearly meets #1. The Web of Science lists 57 papers. Top cites are 926, 880, 706, 506, 390. Total cites 7568 (with an impressive mean of >130) and an h-index of 31. --Crusio (talk) 15:40, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I find the same WoS results ... clearly a top-tier physicist and an absolute keep. I've added a reference by Michael Duff from Scientific American that discusses Cremmer's role in supergravity research, but I'm sure there lots more out there that could be tapped. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:07, 3 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Keep The article has been sufficiently sourced, and he is notable. First Light (talk) 03:47, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Joaquin008 ^(talk) 09:54, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve - needs to be expanded to explain what his research entails / needs more references. Danski14^(talk) 18:18, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- seems sufficiently notable and decently sourced for the very limited claims that the article now makes; notability is demonstrated in the (unfortunately) single reliable secondary source in the article, Scientific American article from 1998. N2e (talk) 19:32, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I added a link to a list of his more than 100 publications in international journals (according to google scholar), and explicitely the missing reference referred to in the text. — MFH:Talk 14:04, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
