Unclear notability per WP:PROF, additionally apparent WP:AUTO. Dhartung | Talk 00:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Background. has a short time on Wikipedia, and has helped wikify Czech-American and worked on Frederick Philipse and Augustine Herman, two early Americans of some importance; but has also authored this apparent autobiography, as well as Demuth family (which I successfully prodded) and added links to several articles pointing to his AOL website on Czech-American genealogy, including George W. Bush, Barbara Bush, and John Kerry. I have cleaned most of that up per WP:NOT (although it's an interesting history it isn't notable in any way). Coming to this page, though, I'm undecided -- there are some real academic credentials and recognition by the Czech government. Putting this to the community to decide. --Dhartung | Talk 00:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Looks notable based on the article. 6000+ ghits, and its an uncommon name, so its likely that they are almost all relevant hits. Mr.Z-man  talk ¢ Review! 01:36, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep The founder and president of a national academy, the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences is unquestionably notable, no matter who edited the WP article. The article badly needs wikifying, and I've added a tag. What is a "successful prod"--one that gets the article improved, or one that gets it deleted? DGG 04:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No snark, please. The Demuth family article was a hugely detailed family history of no apparent notability, very similar to the offsite version. It's genealogically interesting, but we're not a genealogy site. (One or two individual members of that family tree might merit articles; Barbara Bush already has one.) This article was different, so I asked for input. -- Dhartung | Talk 05:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep as a notable scholar worthy of his own page even if he did create it himself. ObtuseAngle 16:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per all above. There are positions which are so eminent that their holders are by definition notable, and the presidency of a national academy is one of them. -- Charlene 20:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
