Strong keep. I added a bunch of books he's published. Scholarly titles of presumably limited circulation, but legitimate in-print titles. Publishing several books makes notable, comfortably.

Well, yeah. It definitely needs cleanup... but vote the topic, not the article as it exists. I had never heard of him, but it didn't take too much work to get book info from Amazon.

Delete I will vote to keep (although it seems unnecessary since my vote will likely be outweighed) if
Millosh could explain why this fellow deserves an encyclopedia entry. (vote withdrawn) Is he a notable expert on Albanian culture and ethno-linguistics? The publications do not seem impressive enough to warrant an article for their author.

Delete: Looking at
his publications on google scholar, I note his work has been cited by others a total of seven times. I don't think merely publishing lots of books ought to make one notable; the books themselves have to meet some threshold of notability (which is why we don't count vanity presses). In this case, with seven citations, it doesn't look like any reasonable threshold is met to me. --
