Christian Schmidt[edit]

I originally {{prod}}ded this page, but the creator objected without reason. Google search for "Christian Schmidt" "Molecular Cancer" brings up 46 unique hits; when searching for one alone, the results given make it difficult to justify a conclusion. Implies notability, though I doubt many people have heard of him. I have to say delete. Royboy crashfan 00:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What justification do you need in order to change your mind ? In other words, how 'well known' should a person be in order to be included in Wikipedia?--Schmidt102 01:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You should know that vanity pages are looked down on. Royboy crashfan 01:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, extensive publication record, journal editor, signficant Google Scholar presence. Notable subject, neutrally written article. Content is more important than authorship, and vanity alone isn't grounds for deletion. Monicasdude 01:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as self-promotion. Brian G. Crawford 01:33, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I looked it up and agree with you. Go ahead and delete the page as soon as possible. --Schmidt102 01:27, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the article per the author's request, seen above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
