Fails WP:NACADEMIC. Google search returned few results, and the returned results weren't significant. (Acer's Communication Receptacle | what did I do now) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 14:27, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm not at all certain that Arru fails PROF. Google Scholar citation counts for the 1960s & 1970s are always very low by modern standards, even for highly notable scientists, and most of the WL resources won't turn up anything based on someone Italian who died in 2000. Professor in 1978 in the UK would be the equivalent of department head/chair, potentially passing PROF, but I don't know anything about Italian academia from that era. I can't make the archived link (Ref 1) open on my computer -- perhaps someone who can could post a translation here? Who's who in Science in Europe appears to include an entry on him and Storia dell'Università di Sassari, Volume 2 looks to contain a 2-page piece on him (indexed here: [1]) (both snippet view only), and there are lots of other Italian hits in Google Books.

Good point. I recently found out, however, that the page was previously speedy deleted. I'll find the talk page diff. (Acer's Communication Receptacle | what did I do now) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 16:31, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Daygum~enwiki. I don't know how to find out if it passed or not, but the nom notif is there. (Acer's Communication Receptacle | what did I do now) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 16:35, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's never been deleted; looking at the history, it was nominated for A7 and declined by the late DGG: "existence of an italian article implies probable notability". Espresso Addict (talk) 19:53, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Huh. Alright then. Is it possible to retract my AfD? Thank you for your help, have a cookie. 🍪 (Acer's Communication Receptacle | what did I do now) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 15:01, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
