Keep. The article needs cleanup and Yule really ought to stop editing it himself (see WP:COI), but I don't think that's sufficient reason for deletion. German archaeology still follows more of a humanities publishing model, so citation metrics aren't that useful, but his work has been widely reviewed [1][2][3][4][5][6], including in prominent journals Antiquity and the American Journal of Archaeology. That amounts to a pass of WP:PROF#C1 and WP:AUTHOR for me. – Joe (talk) 10:22, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article needs a lot of work, and there's a definite COI, but it does appear to pass WP:GNG as he does appear to be a prominent archaeologist as per Joe's references. SportingFlyer (talk) 08:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
