Associate professor. Does not meet GNG or Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Google scholar citations here: [1]. The journal he founded/edits (Hungarian Journal of African Studies (Afrikai Tanulmányok)) is not major. Eostrix (talk) 09:02, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We hardly ever keep articles on associate professors. I'm not seeing citation impact for WP:NPROF C1, and I agree that the local interest journal (which doesn't seem to be indexed etc) is not a pass of C8. He doesn't appear to have books sufficient for WP:NAUTHOR, let alone reviewed volumes. If kept, the article would need a serious trim per WP:NOTCV.

Delete. I'm not convinced that the statement about not keeping associate professors is true or helpful. Assistant professors are rarely notable; full professors at good research universities are usually notable; associate professors are, as you might expect, somewhere in between, with considerable variation. In any case, in his case, he has neither the heavy citations nor the book reviews that I would need to be convinced of WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:38, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct, and I was writing too quickly. It's a bit uncommon, but not "hardly ever". Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:00, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
