Delete, I can't see evidence that this person is actually notable. Irbisgreif (talk) 20:31, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm picking up hits with I search Google books or Google Scholar, which appear related to the subject at first glance. In addition, the page is a variation of the Esperanto article (which has much less information than this one).  --Sigma 7 (talk) 20:50, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. GS gives top cites of 184, 70, 41, 27... with h index = 9. Could be a keep. Input from linguists would be useful. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC).
 * Uncertain h-index is useless in linguistics and the other humanities. If its from Google Scholar, it does not cover the full range of material and includes lots of irrelevant ones. If from Scopus or Wos, it does not include the main medium of publication, books. In any case, these are publications mainly in Danish, and none of the three cover them more than minimally, even in the fields where they are applicable otherwise. I have no idea how to judge the notability of a writer of Esperanto-Danish dictionaries.   DGG ( talk ) 07:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. High cites in an obscure subject is notable. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:36, 20 August 2009 (UTC).
