Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Schechter
Let me note first that some of the reasons for deletion put forward by the nominator are not convincing: thus it is irrelevant to the decision regarding deleting or keeping this article that some other more deserving mathematicians at Vanderbilt do not have Wikipedia articles about them yet. However, upon closer inspection, the subject of the article does not appear to pass . I checked both WebOfScience and MathSciNet and citability results for his papers (except for one book) are low, mostly in single digits. I've looked through most of the reviews of Schechter's papers in MathSciNet (he has 21 publications listed there), and they are mostly tepid, with nothing particularly standing out and with few other reviews in MathSciNet referring to his papers. The book ''Handbook of analysis and its foundations'' actually has a rather negative review there, by James Bell Cooper. I don't see anything else in the record (such as significant awards, journal editorsjips, prestigious lectures, etc) to indicate passing  at this point
