The result was Keep as this could've been relisted again but as it seems he is notable and the article may only need cleaning, we should start with that first and talk again later if needed (NAC). SwisterTwister  talk  05:42, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

This article had a CSD G10 tag but it didn't appear to be an attack page. Additionally, the subject (an account User:Zghajos) requested its deletion. But since the subject is considered a notable figure in chemistry, I wanted to have a discussion about whether it should be kept, deleted or just improved. It has more than its share of citation needed tags. Liz Read! Talk! 16:07, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN ON OCTOBER 2, 2015 DUE TO ALL THE STRONGLY WORDED CRITICISM THAT HAS HIT THE ZOLTAN HAJOS ARTICLE SOME TIME IN JULY, 2015 I HAVE TO APPEAL TO THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF WIKIPEDIA TO COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY DELETE THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH ABOUT ME (ZOLTAN HAJOS). IT IS HIGHLY UNUNUSUAL TO SEE A WRITE UP FULL OF EDITORIAL COMMENTS. I DON'T EVEN DARE TO CORRECT THE REFERENCE STATING THAT THE HUNGARIAN REVOLUTION WAS IN JULY, 1956 AND THE STORY ABOUT HIJACKING WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ESCAPE OF THOUSANDS OF HUNGARIANS AFTER THE DEFEATED REVOLUTION OF OCTOBER 23, 1956 IN NOVEMBER, 1956. THESE ARE REFERENCES INSERTED BY A PERSON WHOSE ERRONEOUS WRITINGS EVIDENTLY FIT THE EDITORIAL POLICIES OF WIKIPEDIA. GREETINGS TO ALL, ZOLTAN HAJOS (NOT AN ALIAS!)Zghajos (talk) 14:46, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I have created the article a few years ago. Zoltan Hajos is one of the most famos organic chemists and inventors in industry and academia of the 20th century world wide. In July 2015 user Leprof 7272 has added several comments to the article making me and Zoltan Hajos (born 3 March 1926 / SEE HIS COMMENTS ABOVE ON THIS PAGE) upset/angry. As a result Zoltan Hajos asked me to apply for deletion of the article. --Jü (talk) 14:48, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The statement of Zoltan Hajos dated 2 October 2015 (see above) und my statement of 6 October 2015 (see above) has been copied from the discussion page of the lemma Zoltan Hajos to this deletion discussion. --Jü (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - It looks like this individual has done some good work, and made a serious contribution in terms of the Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert reaction, and then there's a bunch of material that's dicey. I'd much rather this get deleted than otherwise. I wouldn't object, however, to a redirect situation where the article title and a bit of its contents gets moved over to the Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert reaction page. The scientist, as a person, derives notability from the association with that. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 18:51, 6 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep and improve/copyedit article. This famous chemist fulfills Notability (academics) without any doubt. --Leyo 21:17, 6 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep, clean-up and protect. The WP:Deletion policy says: Discussions concerning biographical articles of relatively unknown, non-public figures, where the subject has requested deletion and there is no rough consensus, may be closed as delete.  Here we have a moderately well-known chemist.  We should give some defference to his request, but if we can accomplish his and our aims together and keep the article, we should. I note in passing that the current mayor of Dunajská Streda in southern Slovakia is also named "Zoltan Hajos".  --Bejnar (talk) 01:17, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep because the subject meets notability standards. He is eponymous both for a reaction for which we have on en.wp and also a chemical (de:Hajos-Wiechert-Keton). As an editorial opinion, I think much of the content is off-topic--extensive discussion of the notability of the reaction belongs on the reaction page except to the extent independent sources highlight this person's contributions--but that cleanup concern does not impact the viability of the article. Comments of certain work being "pioneering" need direct cites, not merely evidence of use of that work by others. Obviously all biographical material must be cited or removed. So trim it down to just the uncontentious (by the subject) or citable bio details, Summary style for the key achivements that have their own articles, and secondary/tertiary-sourced commentary on any other work as available.

 * KEEP, SEMIPROTECT, ENFORCE BLP POLICY to make article satisfactory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahfuzur rahman shourov (talk • contribs) 16:55, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep a notable subject. I can see why someone may not appreciate all the tags.  A tag-bomber has been at work here and carpet bombed the entire article.  I have taken off much of the ugly repititious block tagging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graeme Bartlett (talk • contribs)
