[edit]Please help provide sources when you get a chance. The idea of scheduling this page for automatic deletion seems absurd, given the zillion references to Loeb measures in the literature. Tkuvho (talk) 03:56, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- I am a bit new at BLP's but my understanding may be a bit off. As I understand BLP's aim to be taken to a very high standard of verifiability. I don't think the question is about his notability, The point is all BLP's are supposed to have at least one reliable source. This doesn't have any, currently, I am sure it will get some. The point is to protect the living people who the biographies are about. As far as the 10 day limit, that is apparently policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thenub314 (talk • contribs)
- Thenub, are you arguing that this mathematician is influential, but not verifiable? Instead of citing regulations, can you use some common sense? Tkuvho (talk) 04:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- I think the policy of deleting BLP's with no sources is common sense. To be honest I am not really sure if he is influential, I have come across some of his textbooks before in my travels, they seemed like good books to me. On the other hand, I know of people who have written nice textbooks that are far from influential. Either way, the main issue at hand is that this page has no sources.
