~~I couldn't establish that he meets WP:PROF or WP:GNG, or that there is a good WP:ATD. Boleyn (talk) 17:20, 24 January 2024 (UTC)~~[reply]

Question to nominator. There appear to be fairly large citations to books and papers. Does the nom think these do not contribute to notability? Xxanthippe (talk) 21:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC).[reply]
The Google Scholar profile that was linked seems to be worse than useless: it includes some irrelevant publications and none of the significant ones. I removed it. Instead, to find the high-citation works, one should search author:matthias-finger —David Eppstein (talk) 00:18, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks: when this new search is done[1] does the nominator think that it has any bearing on notability? Xxanthippe (talk) 00:23, 25 January 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Keep - he is a prominent and prolific researcher whose publications are impactful enough to meet WP:PROF, as I read it. Llajwa (talk) 21:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In case it is not obvious I support Keep on the basis of a pass of WP:Prof#C1 at least. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Withdraw nomination per excellent points above. Thanks everyone. Boleyn (talk) 09:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Boleyn, you need to close this as explained here. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#Procedure_for_non-administrator_close_(nominator_withdrawal). LibStar (talk) 03:16, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cut Bolyn some slack! They are working their butt off processing these articles. Llajwa (talk) 17:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
