I couldn't establish that he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 19:01, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article reads like a promotional bio writeup than an article which establishes why he is a notable jurist.TH1980 (talk) 14:52, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move to draft. There are hints towards potential avenues of notability - a substantial list of publications and teaching at high-level institutions - but a Google Scholar search does not indicate that the subject is well-cited. I would provide an opportunity for improvement, but delete if it is not substantially forthcoming. BD2412 T 21:30, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Registrar of the International Court of Justice would appear to be a notable enough role. Combined with his publications and academic positions, I think it's enough to cross the notability threshhold. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:16, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. GS citation record is tiny and certainly won't pass WP:Prof. Notability will have to be found elsewhere. I do not have a notion of how significant a Registrar is. The Main publications list should be deleted; it's just bloat. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:33, 11 August 2021 (UTC).[reply]
- Note that the Registrar is listed along with the judges in our article on the ICJ. That would suggest the post is pretty important. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:44, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Registrar of the International Court of Justice seems important enough to be listed in the WP article and on the court website. It seems Registrar (law) is an important position that is not purely administrative. Remove promotional material and we should be good. --hroest 18:12, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
