I included him due to the involvement in the Global Digital Mathematics Library, like I did the entry of Patrick Ion a while ago (who seems to have had similar academic positions). I'd like to complete it with Pitman and Bouche (for whom probably more content is to be added; certainly, Pitman should fulfil WP:ACADEMIC, what about Bouche? If GDML and FIZ/zbMATH positions are not sufficient, please delete. (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek has two books for Teschke: http://d-nb.info/gnd/1056007435)  User:Sunny98you 20:38, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The difference between Teschke and Patrick Ion seems to be largely a matter of their relative citation records: looking at Google Scholar, Teschke seems to have an h-index of 1 or 2 while Ion has an h-index of 13, which as a mathematician probably leaves Ion meeting WP:PROF#1. Teschke may have a claim to notability, through his editorial positions on Zentralblatt MATH, under WP:PROF#8 or (along with Ion) more generally under WP:PROF#4 - but both of these claims depend very much on how people read the relevant guidelines, and for the moment I would prefer to leave that to other.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as still questionable and simply not convincing of the applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  04:09, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. I think that for the sort of editorial/digital library things he appears to be primarily engaged in, WP:GNG is a better notability criterion than WP:PROF. Regardless, he does not appear to pass either criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:54, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
