Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Florin Curta
Curta meets #C1 rather more easily than his h-index suggests. His academic specialism - the early medieval history and archeology of the Balkans and adjoining parts of central Europe - is small enough that citation rates for academic papers are almost certain to be low, and his reputation currently seems to rest primarily on two books - ''The Making of the Slavs'' and ''South-eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 500-1250'' - which have been strongly cited (particularly in relation to their innovative views on Slavic origins) by medieval historians, such as Patrick J. Geary, Christopher Wickham and Peter Heather, specialising in other areas but writing survey works that need to cover south-eastern Europe and/or the early Slavs. (They are also cited in quite a few Wikipedia articles, though that doesn't count towards notability
