 * Comment WP:NACADEMIC is geared towards evaluating scholars and academics who are active currently or in the recent past; I don't think it's much help either way for someone active in the 1930s. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 18:31, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not the Mathematics Genealogy Project.Jahaza (talk) 21:26, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of impact on mathematics, and no secondary sourcing to justify his notability as a wartime cryptographer. Merely being a Nazi mathematician is not enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:37, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is a mention of him in this article, but it merely says "Almost nothing seems to be known about Dr. Johann Friedrich Schultze", and he's not mentioned in the abstract.  Sounds like the wartime cryptography version of an average professor. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The !votes above seem to have it right. The notability case just isn't here. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 16:56, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - when almost nothing is known about a person or their work, why is there an article? Bearian (talk) 21:51, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
