Marcel Otte

I tagged this for speedy deletion on the grounds that it does not assert notability. JYolkowski removed the speedy tag, saying it does assert notability. All the article says about him is that he's a professor, and makes no claims as to what he's done to merit inclusion in Wikipedia. Delete. Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 05:38, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, since he's one of the main proponents of the Paleolithic Continuity Theory people interested in this theory would wish to be able to look him up. Kappa 06:01, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Notable archaeologist prehistorian.Capitalistroadster 07:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Have expanded article including information on Paleolithic Continuity Theory and list of published works which is sizable. There is certainly room for more expansion in the future given his large number of publications. Capitalistroadster 10:03, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep; published (non-vanity press) authors are prima facie notable. Nandesuka 10:48, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

So everyone who's ever published anything that was subject to peer review is ipso facto notable and Wikipedia-worthy? Really?? --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 05:40, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per all 4 comments above. Eclipsed 22:07, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep based on current article state. Looks natable to me. - WCFrancis 18:10, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
