*'''Delete'''. Mathematics is a low-citation field, but even so we need evidence of impact to give notability through [[WP:PROF#C1]]. His Google Scholar profile [https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=E6jb_t4AAAAJ] appears to mix his citations with a similarly-named chemist but with or without the chemistry it's not really highly enough cited to convince. He certainly does not meet #C8, which is reserved for the heads of entire universities. He has a new textbook "Galois Theory Through Exercises" with one review on MAA [https://www.maa.org/press/maa-reviews/galois-theory-through-exercises] and one non-review (just a copy-and-past of the publisher blurb) on Mathematical Reviews; that's not enough for [[WP:AUTHOR]]. As Piotrus already stated, "emeritus" is usually just a fancy way of writing "retired". So he seems to be the epitome of an average full professor, one who does not stand out in the way that our academic notability criteria seek. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 17:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC) |

**{{ping|David Eppstein}} When writing this article, I too was baffled by that there are no reliable sources. I didn't wrote the article because he have a PhD, that I know, doesn't establish notability. The "emeritus professor" was the reason for the write up. I don't agree with the statement that ""emeritus" is usually just a fancy way of writing "retired"". Some professors remain at the faculty and aren't leaving until that retirement comes, yet, their title is still "emeritus".--[[User:Biografer|Biografer]] ([[User talk:Biografer|talk]]) 19:00, 30 December 2019 (UTC) |

Serious concerns regarding WP:NBIO and WP:NPROF. GScholar citation index and related (h, i) are rather low. No awards, no media coverage. Prod declined by creator, User:Biografer, with "Meets WP:PROF per highest rank, which is Professor Emeritus." but I am afraid professor emeritus does not meet WP:PROF#8 (The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.) since the title is in general not really the highest-level, it's just a nice honorific for retired faculty. This can very a bit based on country, but there is no evidence in that article (nor in our rather poor and unreferenced description of the term) to suggest that in Sweden it is indeed "the highest level". Anyway, for highest level this bio needs info on awards, achievements and such, and I am not seeing it, plus another red flag is no sv wiki interwiki link.

- Delete. Mathematics is a low-citation field, but even so we need evidence of impact to give notability through WP:PROF#C1. His Google Scholar profile [1] appears to mix his citations with a similarly-named chemist but with or without the chemistry it's not really highly enough cited to convince. He certainly does not meet #C8, which is reserved for the heads of entire universities. He has a new textbook "Galois Theory Through Exercises" with one review on MAA [2] and one non-review (just a copy-and-past of the publisher blurb) on Mathematical Reviews; that's not enough for WP:AUTHOR. As Piotrus already stated, "emeritus" is usually just a fancy way of writing "retired". So he seems to be the epitome of an average full professor, one who does not stand out in the way that our academic notability criteria seek. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

The "emeritus professor" was the reason for the write up. I don't agree with the statement that ""emeritus" is usually just a fancy way of writing "retired"".
