Article does not even assert WP:NOTABILITY, just states that he was a chemist who was the student of notable chemists. No German-language article to get sources from / indication of WP:NOTABILITY. I could not establish his notability. Boleyn (talk) 11:17, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Passing mentions in various biographies do not confer notability. Studying under notable chemists does not confer notability. A routine, relatively brief career as an industrial chemist does not confer notability. The article contains no plausible claim of notability. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  03:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've cleaned up the sourcing with three new book sources, added some actual claims of notability (he is said to have made improvements in soda manufacture), and removed the not-very-good sources previously listed that were more about his advisor's group than about him. The remaining one of the existing sources looked like an unpublished web page but turns out to be a five-page published biography of him in German that could presumably be used to expand the article further; I've cited it properly so the whole thing can be read by someone who (unlike me) knows German. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:09, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, thanks to David Eppstein for his professional and exemplary work. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:27, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:GNG after some good work by David Eppstein.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 01:48, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Kudos to David Eppstein. The part of the German source that deals with Guckelberger is just one page and a quarter, rather than five pages; but it speaks to Carl Gustav Guckelberger's contribution and also quotes from a biography of Justus von Liebig (available here), so there is recognition of the subject individually.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
