Andrej Vladimirovich Poleev

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article on a Russian-born scientist, with some overblown claims ("polymath whose expertise spans a significant number of different areas of knowledge", for example). Web of Science lists 9 articles for "Poleev A*", one of them to someone with initials "AM". Of the 8 left, citation rates are123-45-33-25-13-10-0-0, h-index of 6, total number of citations 249. Last publication dates from 2000. Article also claims that Poleev is editor-in-chief of a scientific journal named Enzymes. From the journal homepage, this appears to be self-published and rather "fringy" looking and it does not appear to be included in any selective database (it also does not appear to have published any article not authored by the editor himself). Article also claims that he authored several books. the external link to Open Library makes clear that these are all self published (in Enzymes). In all, Poleev does not seem to clear the bar of WP:PROF. Earlier PROD removed by article creator, User:Poleev. Crusio (talk) 16:17, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The article seems to be a copy of this. However, as that is a user-contributed article (contributed by the subject himself, in this case), I don't think this is a speedable copyvio. --Crusio (talk) 16:31, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom, particularly in view of WP:COI/WP:AUTO concerns. Nsk92 (talk) 16:26, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. The page creator,, has been indefinitely blocked as a "single purpose self-promotional account", after removing the AfD tag from the article three times and blanking this AfD twice. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:15, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. Even if this article is kept, the disambiguation page Poleev needs to be deleted as entirely redundant - it contains only one item, pointing to the Andrej Vladimirovich Poleev article. Nsk92 (talk) 17:17, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete in the absence of evidence that he passes WP:PROF. The journal editor thing comes closest to one of the WP:PROF criteria, but as the nominator argues, his internet journal is not "a major well-established academic journal" as WP:PROF requires. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:21, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete on evidence above. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:29, 16 January 2011 (UTC).
