Speedy delete, This is a one sentence stub saying someone is a professor at a university. Good for him, how is he notable, where is the proof? csd was declined on this. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence of significant contribution to a field. Can probably be speedily deleted if we get 3 or 4 more "d"s here and no dissent. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 15:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I did a quick "hoax check" on Google. He draws 250-ish entries (probably a bit less if you actually go through them). He's got some stuff on Google Scholar, but nothing that makes him stand out from the other 20,000 physics and/or applied science professors out there as far as I can tell. From the list of papers, he seems to be involved in ceramics, but only one paper has more than 50 citations (and most have less than 10).Tyrenon (talk) 15:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete, the article makes no claims of notability, just the fact that he is a proffessor at a university is not a claim of notability. There are thousands of university professors worldwide. The sources that I was able to find do not show he meets the GNG or the Academic specific guideline. A new name 2008 (talk) 17:38, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think this is now at the point where any passing admin can close this discussion and speedy-delete the article per WP:SNOW. I won't do it myself since I already !voted. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 21:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
