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)[reply]

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 (talkcontribs)
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)[reply]
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.
