Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esad Kurtović
As I explained in edit-summary when removing prod template, and subsequently in TP, BLP article on academic E.Kurtović is very important in context of Bosnian historiography, so I really think that I have valid reason to contest this PROD nomination. Beside the argument postulated in my edit-summary, I also do not see violation of criteria given in  and especially in  - an explanation given by nominator surely contains a bit of contradictory claim, where "accomplished" academic, which Kurtović certainly is, both accomplished and very prominent in his own academic environment, somehow fails to meet aforementioned . Also postulated in edit-summary is my belief that Google Scholar citation count is not decisive criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia, as such would render too many prominent scholars working in small and very small, especially non-English language, academic milieus and in a fields and subjects of exclusively local significance and on specific topics, unfairly omitted from the project - Kurtović is very prominent Medievalist in Balkan and in particular Bosnian-Herzegovinian context, so I am sorry but I can't agree with this nomination and I feel that I need to contest it. As for "anemic" references, well, that was never the reason for article deletion, even when lacking completely we deal with that issue with template messages, unless article is obviously failing on notability
