Clear COI in editing since creation (and the original creation looks like it may either have had a COI also, is a sock, a UPE, or some combination of the three). A comment at WT:MATH#Daniele Catanzaro notable? seems to indicate that this topic may not be notable under WP:NPROF. Izno (talk) 13:33, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination, and per comments in the WT:MATH discussion. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:20, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Citations too low in a high-citation field to pass WP:PROF#C1, and the self-promotion makes me unwilling to look for excuses to keep it anyway despite that. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:33, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — It’s exactly as David Eppstein put it. Self promotion is always a red flag. Celestina007 (talk) 17:54, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Kj cheetham, thanks for your message. I am a neophyte on Wikipedia so the links above definitely prove useful to clarify some mechanisms at its core. I started to make contributions to some wiki pages because they contained an avalanche of wrong scientific information. I was surprised though to see that my edits were removed by random users (Spellsgood and Mvolz just to mention a few). Hence, as one of (the very few) academics working on a niche domain of phylogenetics, I decided to create first a wiki page to specify who I am and on which topic I work for, and then I modified again the above mentioned wiki pages. The wiki page Daniele Catanzaro was however marked as COI by Mvolz and Spellsgood and from there degenerated up to reaching the ridiculous “self-promoting” statement. Under this condition I do not feel like contributing anymore. Good work to the wikipedia community DC 21:30, 12 July 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniele.Catanzaro (talkcontribs)
