Mohammad Khorrami

Does Not meet WP:PROF. No independent, reliable sources establishing him as a significant expert or important figure in his field. His publications do not appear to be the basis of a significant number of independent works. Nor does it appear he's won a significant award. He's recently (2004) been promoted to full professor.

Uncertain. The article describes him as "prolific." Is there no indication in physics or Iranian circles that this is so? His English-language CV lists 70 published research papers and his site links to an Algebra textbook in Persian (written by him?) Canuckle 21:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The 70 papers are mostly in journals of the highest possible quality: Physical Review or Nuclear Physics B. There might be some question due to our unfortunate lack of area knowledge about Alzahra University, Tehran, but there is no doubt about the quality of the internationally known journals in which he has published. Fortunately, we not do our own peer-review: the peer reviews of these journals have done it for us. If the referees of those journals think so many of his works notable, he's notable. DGG

Keep unless someone active in Iranian academic studies or the relevant fields of physics can show that he has lacks awards and prestige. There is a systematic bias in Wikipedia towards discounting sources not in English or a few other languages commonly studied in English-speaking countries. Seventy published papers in notable even in physics where higher paper counts are common (few of these papers have more than three authors, suggesting his involvement is substantial). I too would like to see a list of awards and invitations to speak at foreign universities, etc., but not being able to read the Persian CV, I can't comment further. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 04:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. 70 papers including some in first-class journals is sufficient proof that the first four criteria of WP:PROF are satisfied. --Zero^talk 06:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets the requirements of PROF. John Vandenberg 04:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
