IP editor requested speedy deletion with the rationale "Dr. Luc is retired and he no longer wishes to be available online". AGF, I think we should take that as a request by the subject for deletion pursuant to WP:BIODEL. It is hard to evaluate just how notable the subject is, the references contained in the article are not sufficient to establish notability under any of the relevant notability guidelines. However, a google news search does turn up a decent number of German results, not being able to speak the language, it is hard for me to evaluate whether they establish enough notability to override the BIODEL request. Regardless, I think it is proper that we have a deletion discussion on the matter in light of the IP request. Monty ₈₄₅ 16:47, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not much lost if the speedy was not in good faith, I'd say we go ahead and delete it. --Nouniquenames (talk) 18:14, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article could be easily deleted, but NOT because some anonymous guy has written that De Schepper no longer wishes to be available online, but by normal/existing Wikipedia-criteria. By the way, if it were true that he no longer wishes to be available online his own website wouldn't exist either, now would it?Majesteit (talk) 07:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator is clearly honest in the claim that he doesn't understand the language of the Google News results, because they are actually mostly in Dutch and about the rector of Hasselt University rather than this Luc De Schepper. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:32, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete No evidence of notability found in a search. BTW his website does indicate that he retired three years ago.[1] --MelanieN (talk) 17:24, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
