Paul Schnabel is famous because he is the head of the SCP and because he has a weekly column in the newspaper NRC Handelsblad. He is not famous for his dissertation. Also I think that citing extremely selectively from his very lengthy dissertation make the article unbalanced. We can move the following excerpt to Wikiquote where it would be more suitable.

Thanks, but it is has to be improved, because it not a quote but a summary of his views. I will try to get the exact wording. Andries 18:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

That would be good, thank you. Smee 19:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

If it isn't an exact quote, and probably even if it is, it should be removed as it contravenes WP:BLP. You cannot spread libellous opinions on a living person on a website of another name. I have just done so. Rumiton 15:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
