Lutz Wingert

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced BLP, notability unapparent. No German article for this German philosopher. Don't see how he meets WP:ACADEMIC. bender235 (talk) 01:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

As someone working with WPURBLP, I just put in eleven citations for the Lutz Wingert artcle, several of which were for books that he wrote. I also rewrote the lead section
 * Lutz Wingert No longer a, should now meet WP:ACADEMIC

He is a Professor of Philosophy at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, is considered a "Third Generation" member of the Frankfurt School, & is a former chair of practical philosophy at the University of Dortmund. I think Die Zeit considers him one of their "go-to" philosophers. Peaceray (talk) 01:14, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * CommentThank you for adding this material. However, I don't think this shows that Wingert meets WP:PROF. Sure he has published books and even two newspaper articles and he has debated Wolf Singer (which does seem to indicate some notability, Singer wouldn't debate just with anybody). However, all academics publish, that's what they do. The important point is whether their writings have any impact. This is not evident here. The references that you added are to his university pages and to one single article that just mentions him in-passing as one of the third generation of the Frankfurt School. So while I appreciate your efforts, I feel they fall short of showing notability here. --Crusio (talk) 10:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

 *  Comment Keep. Has a GS h index of 7. Might just be acceptable for a low cited field. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:03, 13 March 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep The cited information seems sufficient to me to establish notability. His winning the Karl-Jaspers-Förderpreises der Stiftung Niedersachsen (Karl Jasper prize(??), the article in Le Monde Diplomatique and the zeit online refs all seem to help. I have also added a ref to the 5 page review by Gunnarsson of Wingert's Gemeinsinn und Moral in  Philosophy & Social Criticism - (Logi Gunnarsson Review essay : Dimensions of morality: Lutz Wingert, Gemeinsinn und Moral: Grundzüge einer intersubjektivistischen Moralkonzeption (Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp, 1993) Philosophy & Social Criticism January 1997 23: 125-130) (Msrasnw (talk) 00:53, 14 March 2011 (UTC))
 *  Comment Keep Added a number of citations, so please re-examine if you have not read it recently. Besides being a co-author with Jürgen Habermas (who also cites Wingert in his own work), Wingert also edits the Ideen & Argumente series for Walter de Gruyter, helped chair the Political Theory - Habermas and Rawls in 2009 & is co-chairing the Rhetorics and Therapy conference this March. P.S. Google Scholar lists his Gemeinsinn und Moral as being cited by 54 other articles. Peaceray (talk) 08:28, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
