Thorsten Pattberg

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:ACADEMIC. The article is an orphan. Only a couple hits in Google Scholar; books are published by publisher with no website that I can find. Pattberg was also subject to a AfD two years ago, Articles_for_deletion/Thorsten_J._Pattberg, in which Pattberg himself was blocked for sockpuppetry. Michitaro (talk) 13:33, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Except a few published books I cannot find much about this person. Recreation of previously deleted article by a new editor whose first contribution was to add a reference to Pattberg in another article . MakeSense64 (talk) 13:51, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per WP:CSD — although not really identical, this is not improved from the deleted version and the changes made to it do not address the reason for deletion. So tagged. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:46, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
