The result was Speedy keep; nominator withdrew (non-admin closure). dci | TALK 00:37, 1 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep. This is not the sort of field where I would expect Google scholar to be helpful in judging his impact (especially since he did much of his work pre-internet) but his Arcana mundi is held in nearly 1000 libraries and has nearly 200 citations on Google scholar, his 1997 German-language collection of texts of the cynics has recently been translated into Dutch with a nice review [1], his The Latin love elegy was translated into 5 languages, the New York Times in the late 1990s recalled him as ten years earlier being a leader of a group of anti-postmodern reactionaries, etc. I think he passes both WP:PROF#C1 and WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:44, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If you keep this article (which you should), I recommend moving it to Georg Luck. Cf. authority control. Jonathan Groß (talk) 11:36, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Definitely Keep. He was a major classical scholar who wrote a very important academic book on ancient magic and witchcraft. I support moving to Georg Luck, however.--Morel (talk) 21:52, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep. GS search for "Georg Luck" gives some nice cites. Notability apparent as above. The nominator's rationale is disappointingly slender. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:24, 25 February 2013 (UTC).Reply[reply]
Keep -- several books published by the top presses in the world of medieval history (Paul Haupt was a very big name in the 1960s). Clear #C1 pass. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert(talk) 02:45, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep -- as founder of the page, I am of the opinion that he was certainly significant enough to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:47, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep per all of the above. WP:SNOW would seem to apply. RayTalk 16:42, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Withdraw as nominator. I used the original page name as a search term but as noted it is not the commonly used name for him. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
