Elena Ene D-Vasilescu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I doubt that she meets WP:NACADEMIC or WP:NAUTHOR. Cannot find any reviews of her work and she is not tenured, let alone a named chair. The only reason to keep would be the award, "The Order of St. Antimos of Iberia", but it seems pretty obscure as I cannot find out anything about it online. Even so, without demonstrated coverage in independent sources I cannot recommend keeping the article. buidhe 19:24, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet the notability guidelines for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. The article lists three authored books (ignoring the edited volumes) but although I searched I did not find any published reviews of them. One of them won an honorable mention for a prize of the Early Slavic Studies Association but that's not enough for notability via WP:AUTHOR or WP:PROF. I also don't think the other accomplishments listed in the article (most of which are everyday things that any academic would be expected to do) and the The Order of St. Antimos of Iberia (whatever that is) are enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:38, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - entirely lacks independent sources or evidence of passing WP:PROF. I also note the undeclared conflict of interest. - Biruitorul Talk 21:59, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Potential keep -- We have an IP who keeps removing the AFD tag. An early author was the subject herself, which is a clear conflict of interest.  On the other hand, she appears to have three books published by academic publishers and there is other stuff, preceded "source", which seems to be intended to be references, but not using WP syntax - they need wikifying.  I suspect that she does qualify for WP-notability.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Merely publishing stuff is not part of any notability guideline. We need that stuff to have made an impact that can be seen in independent reliably published sources. One way to measure impact and notability is to find published reviews of the books. Have you found any? —David Eppstein (talk) 19:28, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a comment on the last two entries regarding an alleged conflict of interest. It is my understanding that the amendments made by Elena Ene D-Vasilescu were an attempt by her to answer the citation needed tags in the article. Peter Ells (talk) 19:19, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what they look like to me, as well. It's a bit easier to see when they're reformatted as footnotes. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:01, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
