Questionable notability under WP:ACADEMIC. I am not an expert, however, so I'm leaving it to the wider community to discuss. Note that it was created by a new account, so take that into consideration, and remember not to bite! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 05:27, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. A junior academic, at the moment only an Assistant Professor. Does not pass WP:PROF yet. Nsk92 (talk) 01:47, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree--too junior, really. He is the editor of a nice-looking series (published by Ibidem Verlag, which the article neglected to mention), but he's hardly at a high position or at the top of his field (a claim the article should make and substantiate). Oh, the position at the H Boll foundation, he's one out of a great many. Drmies (talk) 02:15, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nsk92. Article can be re-created if things change in the future. --Crusio (talk) 10:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems to be an up-and-coming scholar, but not yet at the level required for meeting WP:PROF. I found 24 book entries under his name in WorldCat; the most widely held is in only 41 libraries worldwide. That is an edited handbook on renewable energies, published in 2002, which I believe is related to the book series he edits. Other than the books, I could not find much more.--Eric Yurken (talk) 14:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 19:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep Multiple academic books by a good publisher shows notability as an author and an academic. That's sufficient to be an authority in the field. We go by accomplishments, and its just barely enough. DGG (talk) 20:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Please notice that he is not an author of these books, just a series editor. Twri (talk) 08:53, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom does not yet pass WP:PROF muster. coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  23:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly a notable figure in his region and field of study.  agree with dgg otherwise.--Buridan (talk) 21:14, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of encyclopedic notability of a professor provided in the article. Twri (talk) 08:53, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Within a relevant field of study, in this case renewable energy policies in Europe, Reiche has had a significant impact. He was assistant professor and is now professor at the American University of Beirut (at least the Wuppertal Institute says so, though the article states otherwise), edited several volumes, including the widely cited "Handbook of Renewable Energies in the EU" (mentioned above) and a journal. Reiche has a large (thoug not exceptionally large) publication list, while he surely is a still rather young scholar. Looks relevant to me. Nils Simon (talk) 10:57, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As I read the Wuppertal p., he's still an assistant professor. They call him professor at the top as a courtesy title--but look lower down at "Lehraufträge" (teaching positions)-- he was appointed Asst Prof. at AUB in 2008. I changed my !vote to Weak Keep upon confirming it. DGG (talk) 17:03, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't pass WP:PROF yet. A promising young professor, but not there yet. RayAYang (talk) 09:50, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm sure that one day he will be able to pass WP:ACADEMIC and WP:PROF and the article can be rewritten then. For now he doesn't have the notability. Trusilver  17:42, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
