Old Prod

Hi @Mottezen: I removed that prod. The guy is clearly notable as verified by Google Scholar with more than five paper with more than 100 citations each. That makes absolutely notable. If there is aspects of the article which are promo then remove the stuff. scope_creep^Talk 19:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do not use obituaries as a source for this article

Most of the obituaries I have seen for this man were heavily based on his wikipedia article, to the point of copy/pasting entire sentences. At the time these obits were written, the article's biographical informations were completely unsourced. Citing these sources could create a Citogenesis incident.
