Hermann Parzinger[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP of the president of an organization, consisting only of a single statement that he exists and sourced only to a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't about him. While this could be enough to qualify someone for an article if the sourcing and substance were solid, it's not an automatic inclusion freebie that entitles a person to a standalone article if this is all that can be said or sourced about him.

Keep Numerous awards and honours that I have added using a rough translation from the article on the German wiki. He also has articles in the Polish and Russian wikis. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:58, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - WP:SCHOLAR, WP:GNG - Received prestigious awards such as the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, honorary professor and honorary degrees; member of multiple distinguished academies. Received national honors such as Order of Friendship (Russia), Order of Merit (Germany), Order of Merit (Italy). -- Taketa (talk) 10:30, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Parzinger is fairly notable as a scholar, however the article needs to be rewritten.--Catlemur (talk) 10:58, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree the article could use a brush up. Between winning the the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize and all the sources in the article, the subject has achieved notability, and the article passes WP:GNG. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 08:41, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a WP:GNG pass, per the sourcing and improvements that have been made to the article since this AfD was opened. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:22, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:PROF#C2 (the Leibniz Prize is a significant-enough national-level award) and #C3 (Am. Phil. Soc. and Am. Acad. Art. Sci.) —David Eppstein (talk) 22:48, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Per all the above.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 23:27, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
