The result was keep. Consensus seems to be that Fischer probably meets the notability standards for academics, if only just barely. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 04:05, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This scholar of Balkan politics has GS cites of 36, 22, 15, 4, 3, 1, 1. Does not seem much, even for a poorly cited field. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Comment. I am main contributor to the article. He is very often cited when it is Balkan issues about. For example 15 times only on Ustaše article. I know it is not much, but he obviously significantly contributed to Balkan issues that are maybe not in mainstream of interest of wide public and science. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:16, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. According to this web page he is a member of the Albanian Academy of Science, which looks like a pass of WP:PROF#C3. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:27, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per David Eppstein. --WhiteWriter ^speaks 15:01, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep per high holdings of his book "Albania at War" on Worldcat libraries (over 1k libraries). He seems to be a decently prominent scholar in a small field. I do not know whether the Albanian Academy of Science is a highly selective society. Ray^Talk 22:46, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
