Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georg Reiff

About a young German professor who doesn't seem to have done anything of note. Most of the article seems to be from his faculty bio. Vanity page? A few Google hits, some are faculty info pages. He's apparently written a book or two, but I can hardly find anything about them. - Eisnel 05:18, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• the institutions mentioned don't appear to be part of the "academic mainstream". "Weston Reserve University" is based in Kuwait and was created in 2003, and "Prometheus College" lists as its address an office suite in London. For the one "genuine" place of higher learning mentioned, RWTH Aachen, there is no indication of a successful graduation taking place. I would want independent verification of notability before withdrawing my vote for deletion. Ianb 05:27, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

comment: the books mentioned are all "being worked on", "to be published". I think stripping this article down to the relevent, notable facts will result in a substub. Ianb 06:48, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Delete: These U.'s can get added to the List of diploma mills, and this prof. can do something notable before writing an article on himself. Vanity. Geogre 13:07, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Then hunt him down and burn his diplomas. - UtherSRG 14:57, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. I like the mini-biographies in Wikipedia, even self-published ones. But this one contains so much difficult to verify or impossible to verify information that it is useless. Arevich 17:35, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• delete. "prometheus college" (website owned by reiff himself) advertises to german and austrian would-be students who can't enter university in their home countries because they failed their high-school exams. as for the other "university", see this post: New phony of the day: Weston Reserve University. btw the corresponding entry on the german wikipedia has been listed for deletion independently. regards, High on a tree 14:35, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
