Does not seem to pass WP:ACADEMIC. Rd232 talk 23:33, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It would be very unusual for such a recent PhD to have gained notability as an academic, and I can see no sources that indicate any possibilty that the subject is an exception. As an aside I would advise the subject, if he wants to be considered a serious academic rather than just another self-promoter, not to respond to invitations from vanity publishers such as Marquis Who's Who to create an entry.

 * Delete. Has failed to make any impact on GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:03, 6 May 2011 (UTC).
 * Delete. Clearly fails WP:Academic. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:01, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. He's received some press attention for Rosalia Lombardo but I think he fails WP:BIO1E in this respect, and there's not a lot of point in redirecting his article to hers. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:27, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 19:32, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Unsure - I did several searches online, and he has been noted in lots of websites, but only has four scholar Ghits. I've asked User:DGG for his opinion. Bearian (talk) 16:26, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect  to Rosalia Lombardo, where he is covered adequately. Specialist in a narrow speciality, but not yet established as an authority. The strongest evidence is  his co-authorship of the "Italy" chapter in  The Routledge Handbook of Archaeological Human Remains and Legislation, but it's a 2011 book and its too soon to see if it will be a standard work. None of the arguments here give a reason against redirection, so, a/c/ WP:BEFORE, that would be the preferred way to go.     DGG ( talk ) 18:51, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with David Eppstein. He got a bit of publicity (notably in National Geographic ) in connection with the Sleeping Beauty child, but he is really peripheral to her story, so a redirect is not indicated. Let him make his name academically, and create an article someday when he can pass the Google Scholar test. --MelanieN (talk) 04:12, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
