Lack of notability: His only work is the NSC-Engine, which was delete a couple of days ago. Non of his work was cited within the scientific community. Blunt. (talk) 22:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete. No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources means that notability is not established. Dawn Bard (talk) 15:55, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Facts

1. Article is about Croatian scientist, and same article is written on hr.wiki

:Do you have any prove, that his work was even referenced once without him being a co-autohr of the paper? His work on the NCS-ENgine wasn't picked up at all and further work is neither claimed in the article nor here. Its basically irrelevant wether there is an article on hr.wiki or not. On de.wiki he was delete three times [http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WRES/Wilhelm_SERVIS&action=edit&redlink=1]. Now, before you bring out the nationlism card again like in the AfD-discussion for the engine, could you be so kind to provide links that show some kind of notability? --Blunt.

Question - Do patents count? He has [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=wilhelm+servis&hl=en&btnG=Search numerous patents] and appears to be an inventor of some significance. I realize that people have patented preposterous things, but his appear substantive. J L G 3 9 2 6 01:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

::[http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22wilhelm+servis%22&btnG=Search 14 search results] is not that impressive. The 3 patents listed in the article are only request for patents. --Blunt. (talk) 07:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

::::*Comment - Patenting something is not notable. If the patent was notable itself then it'd receive coverage in WP:RS, but patenting is a lot like self-publishing, so no, a vast number of patents isn't inherently notable (unless perhaps the article was about the man who'd patented the most things in the world, but at that point it'd be WP:OR).

Delete, fails WP:PROF. Tim Vickers (talk) 00:13, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Remain - In a country where he is coming from, he is regarded as scientist. Nobody disputed that fact, so article stays. --78.3.69.78 (talk) 06:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

::I did dispute that, because its not proofed. --Blunt. (talk) 15:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
