Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPROF. The only possible claim of notability is via the Atlantis theory. But it barely seems influential enough to satisfy NPROF#1, as he is not a professional historian and the Antiquity article has only 19 citations according to the Google Scholar. It is also somewhat dubious whether his theory really motivated the excavations, since it is not discussed in the peer-reviewed articles, Refs. 7-9. In Wikipedia, his theory is covered by Atlantis location hypotheses, which seems like WP:DUE coverage. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 16:34, 5 March 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.
