Non notable person with no references. Article has been redirected to a list of polyglots but he wasn’t on the list so I don’t understand the redirect. BostonMensa (talk) 03:11, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Lean keep: The page is no longer a redirect. It's a now a stub.  In addition to the New York Times article, I found articles in The New York Daily News, and Haaretz/Reuters..  Seems to pass notability standards. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 04:53, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Neutral there may be enough coverage to meet notability, but a lot of it is just interviews which are not counted. Overall there does not seem to be much scrutiny about Doner's claims of exceptional linguistic ability. Most of the coverage is just boosterism repeating Doner's claims about himself. We would not accept such coverage for notability in other topic areas. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  08:27, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
