WP:N: Georgian botanist, certainly exists, Gscholar has some results under GE Gvaladze. Doesn't appear to meet WP:PROF, I'd expect the cite counts to be very low in Gscholar here, but they're far enough away I'm having trouble seeing an argument under Gscholar on that basis. A more significant claim is the Abhazian Regional Academy of Sciences, might or might be notable but I haven't been able to verify it, or much else, partially due (of course) to the problems of translation from Georgian, and I'm not convinced ARAS membership confers notability in any case. I'm happy for this to go either way, but I would like to see the article, if kept, based at least in part on reliable sources. joe deckertalk to me 21:13, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Towards delete lots of titles are listed, but none that notable; and there is no evidence for his impact. Nergaal (talk) 16:58, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. She certainly exists and has published, but the article is completely lacking in sources and I can't find any myself, nor any evidence that she has made a significant scientific impact. Aside from the regional academy it seems that the other memberships do not convey notability; in particular, the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (whose notability seems dubious to me) has a membership application form that seems to imply that one need only have a Ph.D. to join. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:25, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
