Does not appear to meet notability criteria. Rd232 talk 10:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * delete non-notable academic - fails WP:PROF by a country mile... --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep his article "Yago: a core of semantic knowledge" appears to be widely cited. Need more references to support an article of this length, but subject is notable. Dhaluza (talk) 13:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. He seems to be on his way to the impact needed to pass WP:PROF #1, but with a Google scholar h-index of only 6 I don't think he's there yet. What's the hurry to add articles for junior researchers? —David Eppstein (talk) 15:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge a small part to YAGO (Ontology). Agree he doesn't (as yet) appear to meet the criteria of WP:PROF. The limited notability he has at present is mainly due to his work on YAGO, and the refs and some of the text about YAGO in the first para of the "Projects" section seem worth moving to YAGO (Ontology), currently an unreferenced stub. My understanding is that the WP license would require a redirect be left to preserve the edit history of the moved material (see Merge and delete). Of course there's then the question of whether YAGO is itself notable (personally I'd probably favour merging it into ontology (computer science)) but that's getting beyond the scope of this discussion. In general I'd rather see researchers contributing to articles about their areas of expertise rather than articles about themselves or each other. Qwfp (talk) 16:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree that merge of the referenced content only to one of the YAGO articles is appropriate if no more supporting refs are found (and the two YAGO articles probably also need to be merged). But the redirect should remain, as his papers have been widely cited, and so his name would be a logical search target. Also GFDL licensing for the merge content is another reason deletion is not appropriate. Dhaluza (talk) 17:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. The subject is essentially a post-doc and seems to be a ways from clearing WP:PROF. I suspect the rush for junior researchers is related to the looming tenure/promotion milestone that many will face in the next leg of their careers. These cases certainly do seem to burn much of our collective time here. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 17:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC).
