The article has already been speedy deleted. Being a university teacher is not enough to be considered notable. There is no source whatsoever of who considers him "one of the rare German experts of Francophone Africa." The article has a self-praising tone that looks like a personal ad (wikipedia is not meant for that). He doesn´t meet any of the 9 criteria of PROF for notability of professors Mr.K.

 * Keep. Holding a visiting chair internationally is usually a strong indicator of notability, and fulfils WP:PROF #6. Mostlyharmless (talk) 10:59, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * He held the 'Martius-Lehrstuhl für Ökologie' in Sao Paulo. More about its notability here, there are 5 google links about it. WP:Prof #6 is about "major highest-level (...) academic post". I interpret it as being university president, chancellor or vice-chancellor.Mr.K. (talk) 11:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. The article has serious flaws: "real field work in tropical rain forests", others do only "unreal field work"? "tropical rain forest experience" could be anything from a tourist trip to "real" field work. "experts of Francophone Africa (African French) (Tunisia, Senegal and Côte d' Ivoire)": Francophone Africa is much broader than that. (African French in English refers only to a language variety, not a region, BTW). On the top of that, I can only confirm the previous comments that no point of WP:Prof has been fulfilled and that it is unclear who - if anyone at all - considers him an expert (besides himself, of course). Articles about university  teachers that merely report the positions they have held and the papers they have published are more like resumes and hold no interest for any reader.

 * delete WoS lists 37 publications (some of which may be false positives) ISI h-index = 9. I agree with nom wrt Mostlyharmless's claim that a visiting chair meets WP:RPF #6. Pete.Hurd (talk) 20:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
