Ulrich Duchrow

Bio of a professor which does not have a sourced fact which meets the criteria at WP:PROF. Prod was contested on the basis that he has publications (so do all professors), and is at a good university (not a WP:PROF criteria). Savidan 23:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The prod was contested on the basis that he is a full professor on the faculty of a particularly prestigious university in his subject. Such faculties do not appoint people to such positions unless they are notable--notable by much higher standards than our own. Personally, I really don't think ourselves more competent to asses theologians than Heidelberg. (or for that matter the German Wikipedia, which has rather higher standards than our own in many subjects including this--though they do have the peculiar practice of not giving much in the way of references.

What's so different about German wikipedia? Do they require anything other than an account for article creation? It doesn't appear this article has been through a deletion debate there. Savidan 22:47, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Between the German Wikipedia entry and the English there exist extensive claims to notability, a few sources, and (together) a pretty good biography and works list. In general, the German Wikipedia is more deletionist than the English, so the fact that his article is uncontested there could be another reason to keep. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 02:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I believe he meets WP:N and WP:PROF (as a significant expert or important figure in his field). I saw two good articles on findarticles [1] [2], and I suspect there are many more available if you have access to scholorly periodicals.--Kubigula (talk) 17:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Is not only an academic, but also a politcial figure giving e.g. a speech at a manifestation against the recent G8 summit, that was widely reprinted (in German).[3] --Tikiwont 12:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
