Boris Havel

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Page on an ordinary Croatian professor who does not fit into any of the notability criteria for academics or other notability criteria. As it is, the page qualifies as self-promotion. The only independent source found is this not particularly sympathetic article on Jutarnji List, which gives an idea of his political positions but does not add much to his notability (translated excerpt): "'Zagreb professor Dr. Boris Havel belongs among the people who disseminate this siege discourse. In recent years, this professor of political science has published a number of articles and books on Middle Eastern politics, texts in which he demonstrates knowledge and expertise, but also (unfortunately) a rather blunt lobbyist inclination towards Israeli politics. Havel is also one of the most visible Croatian promoters of anti-multicultural panic. [...] Professor Havel is, in short, a classic representative of the new Croatian conservatism. He does not like postmodernism, liberalism and multiculturalism, he does not like Western European libertine influences. He cares about 'identity', about 'our way of life'." - Dans (talk) 14:35, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment seems self-promotional, I might look at his citation index factor, but I can't access the resources to do so. Leaning delete, based on the limited discussion above. Oaktree b (talk) 17:21, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

 * I found this recent MA thesis on Havel's work on Islam https://zir.nsk.hr/islandora/object/aukos:497 from the University in Osijek. Also Washington Post cited him on Middle Eastern topic (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/10/22/the-murky-story-behind-netanyahus-claim-of-a-palestinian-role-in-the-holocaust/). He seems relevant. Based on that, do not delete. His bibliography should be expanded to include recent work, including English texts cited in WP, MA thesis.
