Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and doesn't meet any of the criteria of WP:NSCHOLAR, with a high citation count of 61 and an h index of 8.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment maybe as the director of the Hugo Valentin Centre enough notability is given? It seems like a pretty big institute that does research and teaching and has a long list of staff, students and other professors? --hroest 22:21, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , I thought at first myself, but that's not one of the criteria in WP:NSCHOLAR. Searches on the centre did not turn up a whole lot of info either, so not sure of its notability either.  Onel 5969  TT me 23:20, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep The article has been improved and the subject is very notable especially for Balkan related research. OyMosby (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep As mentioned, being the director of a historical research institution at a prestigious university like Uppsala should have some merit, but the fact that his rather distinctive type of research is also cited by many books in related fields, i.e. Holocaust & Genocide Studies, should be enough to get him past the notability criteria for scholars. --Griboski (talk) 23:53, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete.  His book has gotten a modest number of citations (in what I believe to be a low citation field), although I could only find one review .  But I'm not seeing the kind of impact that I believe WP:NPROF is looking for.  It's possible that it's just WP:TOOSOON, although I'm noting that the subject's career seems to have slowed quite a bit since his PhD thesis (on which his book is based).  A possible alternative to deletion would be to redirect to a page on the book, but I'm not confident that there is even really enough coverage for a page on the book.

 * Delete. We have no actual evidence of passing any notability criterion, just vague assertions that being director should be enough (even though that doesn't pass any notability criterion). His single-digit h-index definitely does not pass WP:PROF; that's not really a strike against him, because he's not working in a subject where i would expect this criterion to work well, but neither can it be used as evidence of notability. And the article lists only one sort-of-book, his doctoral thesis, which would not be enough for WP:AUTHOR even if we had more than the one review I found . —David Eppstein (talk) 08:22, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Being a director doesn't give her automatically qualify for WP:GNG, she should have some notable work in the academics field to pass WP:PROF which luckily she doesn't have. I completely agree with Russ Woodroofe and David Eppstein explaination here. Grailcombs (talk) 14:17, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a he, not a she. It's also worth keeping in mind his statistical and regional approach to conflict analysis is also in a specialized field which can limit his exposure. --Griboski (talk) 18:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. No pass of WP:Prof yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:28, 11 March 2021 (UTC).
