Nicolas Kun de Kozma[edit]

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

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. Except for the first reference (a negative review), the references are primary sources showing that de Kozma has written a number of books, and that these are in libraries. But there is no evidence of notability. WP:AUTHOR calls for one of the following criteria to be met:

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Simply having written a large number of books is not enough. Furthermore, the facts of de Kozma's life have no verifying references at all. "Former professor" could mean an adjunct who taught a single course. ubiquity (talk) 13:46, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not seeing how the subject meets the notability standards, either for authors or for academics. NewYorkActuary (talk) 12:23, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Subject publishes under name of "Nicolas de Kun" but GS cites are very slender. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:08, 22 July 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. One moderately well cited publication ("The mineral resources of Africa", 78 cites in Google scholar) but that's not enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:06, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
