[td]*'''Weak delete'''. His citation record appears prima facie good enough for [[WP
ROF#C1]] but a closer look reveals verifiability problems with our article. It calls him a professor at the University of Zurich and at the University of the Fraser Valley. But the source cited for this is a web page at Zurich [https://www.df.uzh.ch/en/people/senior-researchers/thomas-puschmann.html] that lists him under "postdocs / senior researchers", not professors. That page does indeed say "Professor at the University of the Fraser Valley Vancouver Canada" (as do several other bios listed as sources) but I can find nothing on the ufv.ca web site that suggests that he is a professor there and he is not listed in the university directory [https://www.ufv.ca/directory/?showall=1&lastname=p&page=5]. I did find another of those probably-self-written bios listing his UFV professorship in the past tense (starting in 2022) and stating that he is at Stanford since 2023 [https://theorg.com/org/extreme-tech-challenge/org-chart/thomas-puschmann], but although I can find announcements of the launch of his center there I cannot find evidence of its continued existence. WPROF notability doesn't require independent sourcing but we still need verifiable content and I'm uncomfortable having an article when we can't even verify who is the subject's employer. The difficulty of verifying these positions suggests that we should be strict about our usual source reliability standards for BLPs, but that doesn't leave much for us to say. β[[Useravid Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talkavid Eppstein|talk]]) 08:02, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[/td]
