 * Delete No indication of notability, fails all criteria of WP:AUTHOR and WP:ACADEMIC for notability. Jeppiz (talk) 23:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inadequate cites on GS fails WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:56, 17 February 2023 (UTC).
 * Delete. My searches found two citations for one publication and none for the rest in Google Scholar, totally inadequate for WP:PROF, and no reviews of his books, inadequate for WP:AUTHOR. As the only accomplishments listed in the article (beyond completing a degree) are his publications, no other possibility for notability is evident. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Diplomica and Grin are self publishing platforms, Wiley VCH Custom Pub is a service for self publishers who want to have a licence for their brand For Dummies. The author is neither well-known in Germany nor reviewed by magazines or newspapers. --2003:E0:F723:2700:C4E4:6478:ADCF:E89A (talk) 05:35, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It is not necessary that an author has to be well known to the broad public (particularly for non-fiction authors in specialized fields). This is just an assertion of an unknown IP address. The list of publications is sufficient, see Worldcat-VIAF and Worldcat-LCCN. --ImOnlytheDriver (talk) 10:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Section on a new concept developed by Weißschnur and other sources added. Springer Professional / Springer Nature are highly relevant in the field of professional media.--ImOnlytheDriver (talk) 11:26, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, there is no indication that Weißschnur's theory has been recognised by "independent reliable sources" as having significant impact, as WP:NPROF requires. The only coverage of it seems to be articles by Weißschnur himself, which are not independent. Devonian Wombat (talk) 21:35, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Although it is true that Weissschnur is the author of the texts (as a guest author), but he did not self publish them. The specialist publishers have done that, so it could be considered independent. --ImOnlytheDriver (talk) 11:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
