 * Comment. Seems to be a published author, however, would need to do some searches in Danish. Britishfinance (talk) 17:05, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Seems to be reasonably busy. Here is an article for the holocaust museum:,, Got a review is this journal:. Seems to be an established historian, and author. Got an afterword in here:"Nothing to speak of : wartime experiences of the Danish Jews 1943-1945" There is lots and lots more it. Gbook mentions and so on.   scope_creep Talk  19:09, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please keep in mind that you should comment on the version of the article when AfD was submitted and in its current status there is no sufficient notability described. CommanderWaterford (talk) 19:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi CommanderWaterford per WP:BEFORE, the case at AfD is not made purely on references in the article at a given time, but on any possible references that could be sourced. It is not uncommon for an AfD to be a "keep" based on references that where never in the article, but which other editors found and displayed at AfD.  It is an unusual feature of AfD and places an even higher bar on ensuring that a "delete" was not just based on the article (which may have been poor), but against any reasonable search for references. thanks.

 * Neutral at present -- CommanderWaterford is wrong to say this is about the version existing when nominated. Articles are frequently improved during the AFD process. At present the article is so much only a stub, so that i cannot currently tell whether he is or is not notable.  I would like to see a list of what he has published, though I suspect that much of this will be in Danish.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:59, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete after a thorough search, I cannot find any independent sources that discuss him or his work in depth. He seems to be an early career researcher, who may not have his PhD yet (based on this (non-independent) source which lists him as an MA). Scope creep is listing the works that he has published, not published works about him. WP:NACADEMIC is pretty clear that "Having published work does not, in itself, make an academic notable, no matter how many publications there are. Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study." I am not seeing any evidence that this person has had a noteworthy impact or anything besides passing mentions, which cannot be used to build an article. buidhe 06:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not enough here for an article. Certainly not enough for WP:PROF (his citation record is almost nonexistent) but we have no evidence of WP:GNG either. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Evidence of notability not found. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:54, 27 June 2020 (UTC).
 * Delete My search didn't find the coverage required to meet WP:GNG nor was I able to find any evidence of him meeting any of the criteria at WP:NPROF. Papaursa (talk) 23:24, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
