I couldn't establish that he meets
WP:PROF or
WP:GNG, or that there is a good
WP:ATD.

- Question to nominator. There appear to be fairly large citations to books and papers. Does the nom think these do not contribute to notability?

- The Google Scholar profile that was linked seems to be worse than useless: it includes some irrelevant publications and none of the significant ones. I removed it. Instead, to find the high-citation works, one should search author:matthias-finger — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:18, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks: when this new search is done [1] does the nominator think that it has any bearing on notability? Xxanthippe ( talk) 00:23, 25 January 2024 (UTC).
- Keep - he is a prominent and prolific researcher whose publications are impactful enough to meet WP:PROF, as I read it. Llajwa ( talk) 21:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. In case it is not obvious I support Keep on the basis of a pass of WP:Prof#C1 at least. Xxanthippe ( talk) 23:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC).
- Withdraw nomination per excellent points above. Thanks everyone.
