Olfa Hamdi

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

does not appear to meet WP:PROF or any other standard. . Her Google Scholar record, cited in the article, shows one publication with 3 citations, one with 1 citation, and nine with 0 citations. The only publication by the title "Advanced Work Packaging" in WorldCat is her Master's thesis. She has no doctorate, and no academic position. The publication referred to of which she is a coauthor is apparently "Advanced Work Packaging: Design through Workface Execution, Version 3.1 Implementation Resource 272-2" where she is presumably one of the team. There seems some significant COI: The article was contributed by the same editor who a few months ago added the long section on Advanced Work Packaging to the article on Work Packaging, a section that quotes only Hamdi's thesis and material from the Advanced Work Packaging Institute. The article contain uncited promotionalism: "the renowned research team RT272"; "considered to be an industry best practice and a game change". DGG ( talk ) 22:30, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DGG. My interest in this topic is more about Technology than Project Management, being a Software Engineer impressed in the dramatic change in Work Packaging Management process and what a massive impact Software can do to this topic. Hamdi's work grabbed my attention because of an award she got from the Tunisian Community Center which led me into this. Anyways, that's out-of-topic of this discussion.

It is my mistake for not finishing the article in my sandbox before publishing it, as it still needs more work. I tried to start with Hamdi then work more on the RT272 team (a coalition between COAA and Construction Industry Institute) and their work so I can bring more education about Advanced Work Packaging. The Work package article only had a definition before I started working on it, even though Advanced Work Packaging is just a part of it.

Does this seem related to WP:PROF mentioning a list stating they "have taken leadership positions in industry and academia"? Otherwise, I guess I'll just work on her publicity in Arabic media.

My main issue was most articles & interviews talking about her research in this topic is in French, which I don't like translation. I guess I'll just be more careful with citations and use the Arabic citations with translation (at least it's something I can read).

Delete. As the nominator states, there is no evidence here of academic or any other kind of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG and doesn't meet any other notability criteria.Jakejr (talk) 15:00, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sources are Google Scholar with 6 citations, and a lot of works by the subject, not anything about the subject, except that she got some award as "Tunisian Student of the Year in the United States". That hardly passes ANYBIO. Kraxler (talk) 14:21, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
