I'm the creator/author of the article, but on further reflection I've realized that it doesn't really meet WP:ACADEMIC or WP:GNG. He doesn't have many citations and worked as a middle manager/scientist at some pharmaceutical companies. The main source (Kürschners Deutscher Gelehrten-Kalender) basically includes anyone with a habilitation or who is a (full/associate) professor, so it isn't very selective.

 * Comment, couldn't find Kutzsche at german wp. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:51, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * no worries, the Frankfurt Wiki has an German article. First: it's not the Frankfurt Wiki founded by Saviour1981. Second: not sure if it was a "clean" export from the . Maybe it will help somehow. Just to give a hint. Nice weekend, everyone. --93.223.179.77 (talk) 06:32, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The question is whether he meets WP:ACADEMIC or WP:GNG here at the English Wikipedia. It's pretty clear that he doesn't meet any of the nine criteria listed in WP:ACADEMIC and it's also pretty clear that he doesn't meet WP:GNG given that Kürschner's (which includes almost anyone working in academia) is the only real source. The article has never existed in the German WP; the Frankfurt Wiki has a very local focus and much lower notability standards than Wikipedia. --Thkafra (talk) 09:43, 6 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. I find the nomination statement persuasive. The accomplishments listed are too low-level and there is no evidence of passing WP:PROF. In particular the citation counts are too low to demonstrate notability through high-impact scholarship. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:28, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
