Doubt about notability. He might be notable as professor in Vienna, but the article give no indication of his work there is notable. Article is mostly: "I have something to say" The Banner talk 20:36, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The sources in the article from Der Standard and Die Presse appear to go a long way towards establishing notability. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:56, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question. The article says he's a professor at the University of Vienna, which might get him in as an academic. However I didn't manage to find him there. Is it true? Zero^talk 10:27, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any mention of him on the Univ. of Vienna's website either, nor is it mentioned on his own website ([1], autotranslated), and I can't find any academic publications. So this claim seems dubious – maybe confusion arising from the fact that he has a PhD in philosophy from Vienna? Joe Roe (talk) 11:58, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lede claims that he is a medical doctor, that needs a source. the cited book by Raphael Israeli says taht he "studied medicine" before moving to Vienna, whether that means that he is a physician, or, perhaps, decided not to finish that degree is unclear, but unless we can find a source it needs to be removed for the article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:36, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is a bit of a puff piece at the moment, but the references show substantial coverage in the Austrian press. Joe Roe (talk) 12:00, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article has been rather over-enthusiastically expanded, but dedicated press coverage over a number of years means he passes WP:GNG. Statement that he is a professor is dubious. Media coverage is of his statements as a religious leader. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:08, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep on the basis of the Raphael Israeli book, which has a page or 2 profiling him and his career. And the news stories.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:36, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
