cited (36 citations for "Madness, Masks and Laughter" according to google scholar). His translations are also easily found online and cited (176 citations for his translation of "The value of privacy" in google scholar). The issue that remains would be the "more than trivial coverage in third party reliable sources". For this matter I think that his output and the sources in this article are within the standards used for the entries in the category English Translators. (please browse the category).

Translators and language-editors typically 'disappear' behind the actual author. Together with his own writings and the unusual recognition (unusual for free lance writer, translator and philosopher) of being invited to fairly high-level conferences such as the ESF-EMBO one in the references, I think
414:
I am sure translators could do with more recognition but Knowledge is not the place to affect that change. If we were to follow the logic that translating a notable work makes one notable, the Harry Potter books alone would spawn 70+ BLPs overnight. Fundamentally, notability is about the likelihood

I would argue that there are sufficient sources to verify the article. The citation list -after some work- contains several web pages of well known organisations such as the Goethe Institut and various universities where the necessary information can be found. His books are all available, but also
618:, as criterion 3, namely "major role in co-creating a significant (...) work". I would thus think that, in general, this could be used to argue for the notability/ impact of translators. As for the present entry, jointly considering own work and translations may indeed make a case for keeping. 52:. There was some support for the applicability of at least the spirit of criterion 3 of WP:CREATIVE. I don't see that this argument carried the day, but neither was there a clear consensus to delete at this time. I suspect we'll be here again unless better sourcing is found, however. 213:'s institutional criteria and his original publications don't appear to have made much impact. At least one of them is through a vanity press. There is a claim on the talk page that translating a notable work (i.e. Heidegger) is significant but I think that's a stretch. 347:
I do not see that the argument to delete this article is that convincing either. The subject seems relevant enough and my point prior was that it is better to elaborate upon what's already written instead of removing what could be much more informative.

as the Keep vote is not actually convincing how he's applicably notable (such as for WP:PROF) and where, when and how this can be improved; GoogleScholar and WorldCat have not shown anything, and the article's contents show nothing convincing.

an article. Translating a moderately well known book is not going to achieve that. Nor is being invited to speak at a conference (which I don't think is quite as unusual as you think it is). The fact is neither Glasgow

Where are you getting those metrics from? As far as I can tell, his work as an independent scholar (i.e. excluding his translations of others' work) has barely any citations. According to Google Scholar
230: 531:, published 21 years ago, has 36 citations; all the rest less have than five and many of those are of dubious reliability. His h-index would be very low (I haven't found it calculated anywhere). 127: 168: 638: 250: 501:-score are probably the best, adjusting for the field of study. In this case, his large number of citations, considering his lack of university affiliation, 134: 600:
As far as I can see, judgement of impact/ notability can consider both the impact that translations made, and the impact of work as author.

Perhaps the article could use some work, but Knowledge seems best with more information to enhance readers' knowledge than otherwise.
100: 95: 104: 87: 17: 189: 400:
As for Martha Freud, the translation of Glasgow is of a biography about Martha Freud, and thus this may not actually apply.
