Sources
editThis article has no third-party sources, and almost no sources at all. Is this guy truly notable, even? Whoever started this page failed to provide an answer to that basic question. Academic38 (talk) 22:02, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

- A Google Scholar search on 'Tibor Machan -author:Machan' (the last bit to exclude his own articles, which are numerous) produces over a thousand hits, which suggests that he is notable under WP:PROF based on having a significant impact in his chosen field (point 1), and according to the article he holds a named chair (point 5). So he's should be safe on notability. However, it is true that there is an unfortunate lack of sources in the article. What's really ironic is that he has published a memoir, so there should be ample opportunity to produce a sourced bio, even if the sourcing isn't entirely independent. But instead we have the all-too-common, "if it isn't online, it may as well not exist" approach to sourcing. --RL0919 (talk) 22:44, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Bibliography
editI have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 02:25, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

 | The request to rename this article to Tibor Machan has been carried out. |
Tibor R. Machan → Tibor Machan – There is no need to include his middle initial in the title. He is the only Tibor Machan on Wikipedia, and that will likely not change. Michipedian (talk) 21:56, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
Done – S. Rich (talk) 17:58, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
