Fabio Cardone

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Repeatedly prodded, bio of physicist with non-standard theories. Nominating to get representative opinions and community decision. My own view is Uncertain at this time.  DGG ( talk ) 19:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I was latest prodder and was unaware of previous prods. My concerns are not with non-standard theories at this time but rather that this bio does not meet WP:PROF criteria.  Furthermore article seems to be created by Fabio Cardone himself which brings up WP:COI issues. Simonm223 (talk) 19:20, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I found it in articles needing wikifying. After consultation I think he doesn't meet WP:PROF. Itsmejudith (talk) 22:33, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete Article is basically a not too impressive CV, indicating that he is not notable, at least not under WP:PROF. So, unless proof is presented that Cardone's row with Santilli generated significant press coverage, I'd say delete. (TimothyRias (talk) 08:40, 25 September 2009 (UTC))
 * Weak delete as TimRias. He wrote books, which usually makes me lean towards keep, but they don't look notable at all. Not notable under WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 12:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no sufficient to meet notability criteria. Jim Carmel (talk) 16:54, 26 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. A search on HPoP for “Fabio Cardone” returns a total of 123 citations, and an h-index of 7. The most cited pub has 14 citations. Some of the pubs are in very good journals, but the subject seems to still fall short of WP:PROF criterion #1. I don’t see evidence of passing any of the other WP:PROF criteria. The awards from the International Biographical Centre and American Biographical Institute are commendable, but fall short of meeting WP:PROF criterion #2.--Eric Yurken (talk) 15:05, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's a little media support (e.g. here) for his claim that Enrico Fermi should have shared his credit with a janitor, but it seems to mention him only trivially. There's no evidence that he passes WP:PROF. And as for the American Biographical Institute and the International Biographical Centre, check our articles on them: they're scammers who provide fancy-sounding awards for money. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I guess those awards are not so commendable after all ;-)--Eric Yurken (talk) 01:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
