The article Georg Lettau has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Being a lichenologist in and of itself is not notable

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

My point in the prod is that simply saying what his occupation is is meaningless. The whole point of Wikipedia is to share information, not keep it to yourself. I still have no real clue why you think he is brilliant amd you should not be telling me but improving the article so we all know. ………… BostonMensa ( talk) 11:46, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
