Talk:Yuri Lvov

Untitled
This page seems to be essentially be a copyright violation of the users web site. Possibly he will give permission, but it none the less is excessive detail, and improper tone. I could delete it entitely as copyvio, but since he is undoubtedly notable, I have instead stubbified it to the essentials to show notability. DGG (talk) 00:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Something is not quite right here as your last edit does not give a stubbified version but instead restores the previous excessively long version of Ozricone. Nsk92 (talk) 00:10, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, sorry, I see that you are editing it now. Nsk92 (talk) 00:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup needed
This article needs cleanup. Several of the claims for notabiloity are really very minor: for instance, referee for journals, NSF, NIH and such. An Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship is a postdoctoral fellowship that does not confer notability according to WP:ACADEMIC, hardly necessary to mention it. The AvH Foundation is a Foundation, as far as I know you cannot be a member of that (I am familiar with AvH, being a former "Stipendiat" myself). Being a member of a Society is nothing noteworthy. The list of publications in the article is excessive. The amount of funding is nice, but again nothing that would confer notability. The number of citations mentioned is rather high, if correct, this would seem to confer notability for this person, so I am not taking this to AfD. The only "source" for the article is his homepage (some parts copied almost literally, but perhaps just changed enough to escape WP:COPYVIO), more sources are urgently needed. I will tag the article for the above problems. Something that is less clear is the possibility of WP:COI. The page was created by Ozricone, an WP:SPA who has edited only this article. The photo of Lvov is marked "own work", so at the very least Ozricone is someone close to the subject of the article or perhaps even the subject himself. --Crusio (talk) 10:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
