[edit] Response
This article was written by myself, but
- it does "maintain a neutral point of view": it does not contain a single evaluative statement let alone praise;
- there are already other Wikipedia articles that mention either my name or the scientific disciplines I work in so an article that provides interconnections between already existing articles should be useful;
- as an author/editor of several books and a scientific journal as well as an internationally-known scholar (no evaluation or arrogance intended) , I dare assume that there may be interest in a brief, non-evaluative statement.
On these grounds, I request the article does not get deleted.
