Talk:Julio M. Fernandez

Untitled
Fernandez has published numerous papers in the leading journals (Nature, PNAS), he was member in influential international peer review committees (National Science Foundation, NIH, Advisory committe of the Volkswagen Stiftung ..., invited speaker at the top conferences (including the Nobel Institute for Chemistry, Stockholm). In every regard, he is way above average.
 * But in which way is he notable? That's all we care about for our purposes. Almost all professors are published in numerous journals. It doesn't make them notable. In fact, many universities treat papers and such as a requirement for employment. And it's similar with conferences and peer reviews. What makes him special though? Has he discovered anything significant? Has he written any significant papers or books? That's what we're looking for. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 10:35, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that having numerous papers being cited more than 100 times says that the majority of people working in his field consider his work notable. This shows that indeed he wrote significant papers. And only a very small minority of professors are published multiple times in journals such as Nature, Science and PNAS. He has an h-index of over 40, which is remarkable. --Sisyphos happy man (talk) 12:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Clearly meets WP:Notability. I see that this page was tagged for speedy deletion a second time, after the first tag had been removed by another editor. It should therefore have been prodded the second time, I think. Anyway, I would also contest a prod and this article will certainly survive AfD. Some expansion may be needed, though. --Crusio (talk) 12:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
