This article was nominated for deletion on 4 March 2007. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Is Olaf Karthaus sufficient noteworthy to have an article in Wikipedia? The article mentions none of his contributions to polymer chemistry. It reads instead like a resume or curriculum vitae converted to paragraph form. At a minimum, the article needs to be cleaned up and wikified. Can someone more knowledgeable about Karthaus or polymer chemistry please respond? If a response is not made, I will initiate a vote for deletion. Leeannedy 19:13, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I created this page. I am not sure about his scientific work, but he had a great impact on Japanese society by his lawsuit against a discriminating bath house. So I would like to see this page retained and not deleted. abarenbo, 29 November 2005
