Discussions[edit]

He is a Professor Emeritus. If that does not make him noteable enough in this world I dont know what will or what merits a mention in wikipedia. Nunamiut (talk) 20:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:PROF for what information, if referenced, establishes notability for a professor. According to Professor Emeritus, that only means a professor who retired in good standing. Many people retire with good standing from many professions, but it doesn't make them notable. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 20:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he gets about a thousand or more different hits on google.de , I don't know if you understand or speak german but I can give you some quotes if you need them.Nunamiut (talk) 20:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If his only notability is in the German speaking world, he may not qualify as notable on English Wikipedia. MY own ability to speak German is limited to the overlap with English and Yiddish (and I'm fairly sure the fifteen Yiddish insults I know won't be of help here :-) ) plus a few of the fun angry-sounding words used in games like Wolfenstein. We don't need a whole lot, but a few English language sources would help immeasurably. Has he received any coverage in English language press, journals, etc.? —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 21:05, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you american? Do you understand the ramifications of the EU and the European Union? Do you understand how many Icelandic people and people from Finland speak english and not German? Nunamiut (talk) 21:08, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't really matter whether I understand it. An article on a professor that provides no verifiable information in the language of the reader isn't going to be very useful. It's not about American or not, it's about the English speaking world. *Any* English language source would be helpful, it doesn't make a difference if he's notable in America. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 21:15, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He is all over the news in Germany, and has been for more than half a decade, he is a prolific speaker, he is even mentioned with a long (by many standards) article in French Wikipedia, and the accuracy of the biographical data is verified by both the German wikipedia and the French. Please stop pretending this is an issue, my article had not been online for 5 minutes and you never gave me a chance to correct it. Nunamiut (talk) 21:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't nominate it for deletion (either speedy or proposed) off the cuff; if I thought notability was non-existent I would have done so. The tag isn't saying "delete this, it's not notable" it's asking for sources to support an argument for his notability. If reliable, third party sources are provided that I can use to verify notability, I'll happily remove the tag. The tag also doesn't prevent you from correcting the article; the whole point of the new page patrol is simply to review new articles; this includes tagging articles which are, at the point of creation, deficient. If you wish to work on an article for a while before moving it to article space, that's what user subpages are for. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 21:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know this conversation is old and dead but I feel like putting my two bits anyways: reliable sources in any foreign language are just as valid as reliable sources in English. Notability is not language-dependent. While foreign language sources are a pain for many users of en.wiki to deal with, that's not a valid reason to delete an article.

Very glad to hear your input. It's really important to clarify and show how we justify and reason when we make decisions and choices on how to define what is worthy of note in this world, and explain why it is reasonable to assume that position of assumption on evidence. hm. I'll try to rewrite and rephrase that on a later occasion :) cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.215.33.243 (talk) 10:29, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This man is indeed very notable, and will become even more so in the future. You have to imagine, that he is one of very few academic and political individuals in Germany, the biggest EU-state, who utters criticism of EU's development. There is no opposition or even discussion of recent developments in the whole German political and media landscape. He is somewhat of a "Ron Paul", even if he's coming from the academic branch rather than the political. He may not be so popular as Paul is, which stems from the above mentioned media boycott of EU-critics, yet he plays a very important role in petitioning the highest German court on a regular basis to have the most fundamental wrongings of EU-politics corrected. So even if he's played down by the media, his importance can not be underestimated. 92.194.182.74 (talk) 16:23, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of some perspective: He's widely considered a right-wing hack, something the German article expatiates on in some detail. Which might also explain why all those EU wrongings stand uncorrected. --Ildottoreverde (talk) 20:29, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Schachtschneider held the Chair for Public Law, not Civil Law. There is not even one chair in Germany for Public AND Civil Law, Civil Lawyers and Public Lawyers are a completely differnt category of lawyers.
