Article on an mathematician that apparently fails WP:PROF, see discussion at WT:WPM. It was deprodded by an IP without any commentary or improvement. Pcap ping  16:51, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fairly minimal (mostly single digits) citability in MathSciNet and GoogleScholar. No significant awards, journal editorships, etc mentioned in his CV. Does not appear to pass WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 19:34, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment has one citability with 2 digits, touched many areas of mathematics. --ukioe (talk) 22:51, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. The article presents no evidence that he passes WP:PROF nor has any turned up in my searching. Touching on many areas is clearly not enough for WP:PROF #1; what is needed is some sign that he has made a significant impact in at least one of the areas that he has touched on. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Concur with above – Wos shows 10 papers with cites: 4, 4, 3, 2, ... for h-index of 3. This is pretty far below our typical passing range for prof #1. Not relevant to notability, but there are some violations of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:OR, for example the unsourced statement about what he is currently working on. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 14:46, 30 April 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete per nomination and the other astute comments above. Drmies (talk) 16:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, also low h-index (GS cites are 30, 7, 4, 4, 3, ...), lack of references (other than his own website), and vague statements like "was active in the study of the four-colour problem" (this theorem was proved in 1976 by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken). -- Radagast 3 (talk) 13:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
