 * Speedy keep for lack of a valid deletion rationale. The nominator's "promotional" nomination is a classic argument without an argument: here it appears only to mean that we have an article that mentions the accomplishments of its subject; by referring to the motivation for the article and not to its content it is an ad-hominem argument and vioaltes WP:AGF; and it fails to refer to WP:PROF or any other notability guideline. In any case the subject clearly passes WP:PROF (highly cited pubs with the top one being cited 3500+ times on Google scholar) and #C3 (member Leopoldina).—David Eppstein (talk) 04:27, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very clear pass of WP:Prof at least. Nominator is advised to study WP:Prof and carry out WP:Before before making further nominations. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC).
 * Keep Nom is taking these things too easy... Clear pass of WP:PROF. Article needs cleanup to comply with WP:MOSBIO and to move the references inline (looks like it has been translated from the German WP, where they do referencing a bit differently from here). --Randykitty (talk) 11:12, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Definitely meets the standards of WP:Prof and clearly notability in field has been established.  BerkeleyLaw1979   00:42, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
