Talk:Paul Frederick Zweifel

Reluctant move to draft space
Sorry, but reluctantly I feel I have to move this to Draft space to be fair to others. He may be notable. However, when I do an ISI search I come up with an h-factor of 20, which is normally below what would be considered notable. He also does not have any major awards (according to the article). These matter as they are independent statements of his notability. APS Fellow or similar? It would also be good to be able to include more than one reference, currently almost everything is to [1].

Repeating, it would be unfair on others who get rejected to allow this to pass as it is. However, I suspect that you can enhance the page without going peacock. Ldm1954 (talk) 22:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, @Ldm1954. Thank you for your review. Thank you for your rating. I don't know why Zweifel is ranked so low in the USI, but it could be explained by the fact that most of his academic works are theoretical, and because the index does not consider the impact outside academia. The article states he has some awards, I believe you may have dropped the section "professional honors". I improved the article and cited more specific sources when relevant. Regards!

 * I think you have done a good job. The awards (with references) are important. These are typically considered as equal or more important than citations, as they reflect external consideration. I suggest you submit via AfC, I expect it to fly through (I won't review it). Ldm1954 (talk) 00:34, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
