Article appears to have been almost wholly written by the subject (less some copyedits). Don't believe there to be much notability surrounding the article. SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 15:55, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Badly sourced, with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:PROF based notability. In particular, his economic works appear to have single-digit citations in Google Scholar, far below the standard for macroeconomics in general and for work on economic cycles more specifically. The language barrier cannot be blamed as many of these works are in English. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:19, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - The research topic of Kondratiev has been controversial and new works by him have been discovered the interpretation of his life's work. Prior works discussing this will not be cited more frequently just because the status of the author had been changed. "Kondratiev's reputation has improved greatly since his formal rehabilitation by the Soviet government in 1987 and the discovery of new works he had written while in prison. These, along with new translations, were published in four monumental volumes in 1998." cited in the article. The dissertation on Kondratiev is present in a number of international libraries. Played a significant role in the rehabilitation of Farkas Heller whose work and the economics school he founded is now known to a wider public. Important text book production in support of university education before 1990. -- Effemm (talk) 08:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. No indication he meets WP:NPROF. While it may be true that what he studied was controversial, but that by itself does not make him notable. The question is whether other researchers (east or west) think his work on the controversial Kondratiev was important or not, citing or discussing the work of Sipos. The argument on whether Sipos is notable cannot be tied to whether Kondratiev is rehabilitated / notable or not. --hroest 04:11, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not seeing the kind of impact (as measured by citations or similar) that we're looking for in WP:NPROF.  There's some very local coverage in Pécs county, but it looks well short of GNG.  There's one review  of his book Production Functions – Forecasting for Enterprise, but we'd need multiple reviews of multiple works for WP:NAUTHOR. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
