Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gerhard Kramm
A few matters should be clarified. First, this debate is strictly about whether to keep the article based on the subject's notability, not whether there's enough material supported by ''biographical'' sources to write an article. If there aren't many of latter, the article can always be stubbed using minimal information from published papers, like history of employment and areas of expertise. Second, there's no precedent of limiting notability to one kind of ranking, as implied above using http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/~prall/climate/climate_authors_table.html this list. The overwhelming majority of academics pass on  #1 and there are many accepted ways of demonstrating this, including h-index, book holdings, total number of citations to published work, etc. Here, WoS shows that the subject has an h-index of 12, which is in our historically "borderline" region of 10-15, but the citation list is more telling, e.g. 45, 42, 36, 34, 32, ... (total >350) and Kramm is the first or corresponding author on most of the well-cited papers. As one would expect, these citation numbers are somewhat higher on GS
