Adama Nombre

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I did quite a bit of checking for sources in the interest of expanding this article, but ultimately I didn't find enough coverage of Nombre to justify keeping this article on any criteria.

Although he has published some papers, I'm pretty sure he doesn't pass WP:NPROF. I don't think being president of ICOLD is enough to guarantee an WP:NPOL pass. And finally, lack of coverage tells me he doesn't pass WP:GNG. For reference, I checked Google, GBooks, GNews, GScholar, JSTOR, Highbeam and Newspapers.com (although both HB and Newspapers are American-focused and weren't likely to have coverage anyway). &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete I'm not seeing am assertion of notability or sources with coverage to support one. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:50, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - He is in Google News and name in several GBooks including the UN . Just because they are in snippets and you don't have access to them does not warrant deletion. The subject is notable. The sources are reliable and verifiable. Just because you can't gain full access to the sources does not mean they are not verifiable. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 02:36, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The majority of those eight Google News hits are from specialty publications in his field, some of which are opinion pieces from him, not about him. And if you'd actually looked at those books, you'd have realized that every single appearance of his name, in every single one, is in a list of acknowledgements among dozens of others. None of those books contain any substantive discussion of subject, or even give the appearance that they do. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:00, 21 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - Being in Google News alone does not mean there is notability. What if he was in Google News due to a press release? That doesn't establish notability. Looking at the actual results, I don't see this passing WP:GNG. --  Dane  talk  02:55, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
