Not Notable Bhny (talk) 19:43, 3 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment this person may meet WP:PROF criterion 3, as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences assuming that can be referenced. Perhaps the nominator could elaborate on why they think the subject is not notable. 137.43.188.224 (talk) 20:47, 3 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I have no idea why being member 1344 of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is notable. He doesn't seem to have published much and the 2 current thin references are obviously not enough. Bhny (talk) 20:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, because this is what is written in WP:PROF criterion 3, as noted above.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:25, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I just mean I'm not qualified to say whether the Swedish Academy is "highly selective and prestigious" like the Royal Society. If it is then we should keep. The biggest problem with the article is there are no links to anything significant he's done. One link was to an article he wrote about fringe science and the other to his dissertation.

 * I added a bit of info of this (from the official bio provided by the Nobel Foundation). Yes, Royal Swedish Academy is fine as a prestigious institution. The problem is that he seems to got involved into cold fusion which is clearly marginal, and this is what all post-2010 references talk about: some praise him as an academic scholar supporting cold fusion, and others critisize him. I have chosen not to add this bit at all since this can easily get me in trouble in real life.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:25, 4 May 2012 (UTC)


 * The article looks ok now, I guess we keep it Bhny (talk) 16:30, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. With a GS h-index of around 35 clearly passes WP:Prof as well as WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:16, 5 May 2012 (UTC).
 * Keep High h-index, member of the Swedish Royal Academy: obviously meets WP:PROF. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:53, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY. Also, as professor emeritus at a highly-respected university, he would pass WP:PROF. Bearian (talk) 16:31, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
