How notable is this astrophysicist that he requires a page on WP? This looks like a rehash of his homepage, which doesn't sell his notable status either. -- (aeropagitica) 13:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak keep He is a published author and google turns out many hits. However, much of the article is a verbatim copy of his homepage and should be rewritten. Haakon 13:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I find three books by him available in between four and ten Swedish libraries. One of these, An introduction to modern cosmology, has been published in two editions. A search on Google Scholar shows that his most cited paper has 545 cites, and he has another three with more than 400 cites. Why would he be less notable than any random NHL player? u p p l a n d 18:05, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per Uppland. WP:BIO met if published book with an audience of 5000. Two editions means he's more than likely exceeded that. JLaTondre 03:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
