I will review this shortly. However, one thing strikes me immediately -- notability! As currently structured this is unclear. Did he get any major awards? Where is there a good source of his publications and citations? What papers by others demonstrate his impact, beyond the orbituary? I will be happier if you handle those first as I am not comfortable about doing a GAR when notability is not 200% obvious. Ldm1954 (talk) 22:23, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

No major awards that I'm aware of. I couldn't find a source that listed all his publications and citations in on place. I sent this article through AfC a while ago, but my thought process at the time on his notability was that he scraped through by being director of two observatories, a member of the International Astronomical Union and a councilor (and I believe therefore also a memebr) of the American Astronomical Society. I suppose I'm not opposed to AfD if you think it's needed. Sgubaldo (talk) 23:56, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

He may scrape by, and normally we don't require proof. However, I think for GA we need more. Can you do an ISI search or simiar? Maybe a boring hand count of his pubs via GS? Ldm1954 (talk) 00:04, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I'll have a look sometime this week. Sgubaldo (talk) 13:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Using Google Scholar, I counted 89 items between books, papers and other publications. 2 pubs with 500+ citations, 3 with 300+, 7 with 100+, several more between 50-100. Sgubaldo (talk) 19:45, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Can you please count his h-factor. Make a list of how many cites for each then sort (e. g. Excel) Ldm1954 (talk) 20:45, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Hopefully I've done this correctly. Counting from the link above, h-index seems to be 38. Sgubaldo (talk) 15:35, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I will accept this as passing WP:NPROF #C1 with the added notability he has from the observatory etc. Please give me a few days and I will go over the page. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Please revise

• Please include a cite to his PhD thesis, ideally an online pdf or if not that then a link to a copy at the library of his uni.
• Vienna University should either be "University of Vienna" per the WP, or the German language term.

Done both, @Ldm1954. Sgubaldo (talk) 14:17, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
