Ernst Hairer

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to fail WP:Academic. While he may be notable in the future, currently there are not sufficient reliable sources to establish notability. The only claim to notability is the single prize awarded, but it is not cited. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 22:33, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. Honorary doctorate, stupendous cites on GS. Did the nominator carry out WP:Before ? Xxanthippe (talk) 01:07, 7 May 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep. Three of his works have over 1000 citations each on Google scholar; if it were ten times fewer it would still be enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF. And I think the two birthday conferences in his honor are also significant. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. A prestigious prize from SIAM, an honorary degree, two birthday conferences, and top GS cites of 3892, 2607, 1166, 766, 608 are more than sufficient to pass WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 01:25, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Sufficient resources on Google Scholar, Honorary Doctorate and Birthday Confernces in his honour confer notability for WP:Academic --Whiteguru (talk) 12:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep Extremely prominent academic. Nominator is advised to read and understand WP:PROF before making such nominations in the future. Ray  Talk 17:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per whiteGuru. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 19:51, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. The subject of this BLP is about as notable as it is possible to be without winning a Fields medal, the mathematical equivalent of a Nobel prize. I suggest that the nominator withdraw the nomination to reduce by one the number of AfDs clogging up the system. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep, as per Xxanthippe, etc.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 01:52, 8 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Nomination withdrawn. I had checked using Web of Science and had inadvertently used the social science index instead of the science index. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:13, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
