None of the references appear to relate to the subject - though they are all in German, and I might be wrong. Rathfelder (talk) 11:08, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The first reference on the current article clearly references him and his theory on the first paragraph. The primary reference for his work from 1952 strongly appears to be this: http://www.eje-online.org/content/9/4/342.short, which needs to be added with proper formatting and maybe a permanent link (I'm not sure about this one). The incomplete citation is no reason to purge the article. Fbergo (talk) 11:59, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Fbergo's 'keep' comment above does not directly address the subject satisfying the WP:PROF requirements. I did not have time to do a careful search but my initial impression is that the subject probably does pass WP:PROF. GScholar [1] shows at least one highly cited paper, with 907 hits, from 1977, which is quite good for pre-internet era. The the Diabetic Pregnancy Study Group of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes has an annual award lecture called The Joergen Pedersen Lecture, see [2]. The link also contains some biographical info about Pedersen and about his work. I added that ref to the article. Nsk92 (talk) 11:42, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is quite enough for me to withdraw the suggestion that we should delete it. Rathfelder (talk) 12:23, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
