 * weak delete independent sources are not the problem here, see WP:NPROF and his GS which is independent enough. However, the issue is that he likely fails WP:NPROF with an h-index of 16 and 700 citations. Unless geography is a really low citation field, which it does not seem to be, then he would fail WP:NPROF#1. --hroest 21:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * If you’re saying that independent sources are not the problem, you are actually saying he is meeting GNG. (?) SportsOlympic (talk) 07:18, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No, I am saying that since WP:NPROF applies, we do not require independent sources for the article. However, the person has to pass WP:NPROF first, I believe he is somewhat borderline. --hroest 14:54, 5 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep, per Hannes Röst, Geography, being one of the fundamental fields, have low citations in general, in comparison to technology related fields. Chirota (talk) 22:10, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * comment I would agree it is low, but not that low. Looking at some of the people in the field it seems that 700 is a low number of citations. --hroest 14:54, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep meets wikipedia:NACADEMIC. SportsOlympic (talk) 07:23, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree with hroest that citations are a bit short for WP:NPROF -- it's a low citation field, but we still need _something_.  I believe that the subject is in a "book" field, and so might meet WP:NAUTHOR.  Language issues might make finding the reviews that are generally needed for WP:NAUTHOR a bit tricky.  I didn't see much helpful in the Czech wikipedia article on the subject.  The existing stub is minimal enough that a soft delete could be a reasonable outcome here.

 * Delete, with no prejudice against recreation if reviews or similar can be found. There's nothing showing notability at this time; meanwhile, not much is lost by removing a 1 sentence stub. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * "There's nothing showing notability at this time" --> that is not a valid reason for deletion if the person does meet notability. "not much is lost by removing a 1 sentence stub" --> it's a bit more than that, If the article is deleted this way by stating he was not notable, it also states the article should not be created again. SportsOlympic (talk) 13:03, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * So, I'm suggesting a soft delete, as per an expired prod or AfD with minimal participation. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 13:11, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NPROF.4meter4 (talk) 13:17, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Appears to pass WP:NACADEMIC #5. Professor of Social Geography at the Charles University according to his article on Czech Wikipedia, which is much more comprehensive. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon. Such as most European countries. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:54, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Per Necrothesp, I believe Dostál’s distinguished position at Charles University meets notability requirements. Thriley (talk) 21:05, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
