Fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC criteria. Zero textual indication of any noteworthy achievements. JFHJr (㊟) 06:09, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Apart from the lead section, all of the text in his article is copied from the sole (copyrighted) reference. AllyD (talk) 11:13, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I've stubbed then rewritten the article with some references. The subject's various publications on development economics do pick up quite a number of citations (see Scholar search on given name or on "GP Pfeffermann"): I am not sure these are sufficient, or whether they should be deemed just to be by-products of his former jobs at World Bank institutions, but they are a potential indicator of some notability.)

 * Weak delete. The Globalist profile is non-trivial and reliable, but the other sources only quote him or mention him briefly. We need multiple sources to pass WP:GNG (a better guideline in this case than WP:PROF, I think). —David Eppstein (talk) 23:07, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
