I couldn't find sources to add proving he meets WP:PROF / WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 16:15, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He seems to be virtually unknown to chemists outside Hungary. Google Scholar lists six publications, five in Hungarian and one in German, with a total of four citations. The Hungarian version of the article says that "More than 200 scientific articles and 17 books, university notes and book excerpts have been published," (from Google Translate), so maybe Google Scholar has it wrong.

Delete. I don't think Google Scholar has it wrong. My searches aren't showing any support for any criterion of WP:NPROF being met. Qflib (talk) 17:52, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. We're talking about a scholar who likely retired decades before the WWW existed and published primarily in Hungarian – Google Scholar is definitely wrong. – Joe (talk) 18:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Google scholar is definitely wrong, but the whole thing is unsourced, so we should delete this unless we can verify it. Since it was created 13 years ago by a user named Csokan, I don't think we're likely to be able to do that. If anyone finds sources, feel free to ping me. -- asilvering (talk) 04:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. With no sources we cannot have an article. I was hoping the Hungarian version might be better but it also has no sources. It appears (through automatic translation) to be calling him the winner of what might be a notable award, hu:Akadémiai Aranyérem, but the list of winners at that article and the list of winners at the Hungarian Academy [1] do not include his name. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:27, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
