 * Weak keep. When I first saw the article it looked like utter crankery, but Hoogsteen pairs really are notable (maybe 500 hits for that phrase in Google scholar), and (assuming it's the same Karst Hoogsteen) he has citation counts of 1234, 271, 264, 210, etc., a clear pass of WP:PROF. But it seems very difficult to obtain any reliable information about him. He worked for Caltech in the 1950s? And later for Merck? Even that much is hazy. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Six papers with over 100 cites each. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:16, 20 January 2013 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment If there's no more info on him, a merge to Hoogsteen base pair might be justified. It depends on whether there's a realistic likelihood of this article being significantly expanded. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:48, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
