Irina Athanasiu

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I don't see WP:PROF criterion 5 being satisfied. Even if the Politehnica University of Bucharest has the highest number of notable computer science professors in Romania (a valid assumption), nothing says all of them are notable. Plus, there's no evidence in reliable sources independent of the subject for any claim made in the article &mdash; there is even, as of now, no usable source to show Athanasiu was a professor, much less that she did the things ascribed to her by this article. If any WP:PROF criterion is going to be met, independent, reliable sources will be needed to demonstrate the claim. Barring those, deletion seems imperative. - Biruitorul Talk 05:21, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence of passing WP:PROF (the citations in Google Scholar are far too low for criterion #C1) and the article seems to consist only of undocumented and unverifiable local accomplishments. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per David Eppstein. Tradedia (talk) 17:12, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This is entirely (self-)promotional, no evidence of notability; regardless of how controversial it may be to delete spam on female academics. Dahn (talk) 17:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * To make up for my delete here, I've found another Romanian female computer scientist who doesn't yet have an article and clearly does pass WP:PROF, and added her to a list of articles I'm working on creating. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:16, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. Far be it for me to suggest that Romanian female computer scientists are by definition non-notable - I'm sure that at least some of them are; I was just saying that Athanasiu doesn't seem notable by any standard, and we'd be wrong to keep the entry just because of some absurd PC parity.

 * Delete. I attended a course of hers, interesting stuff, but yeah, she's not notable for a Wikipedia article, at least based on the sources I could find. bogdan (talk) 18:11, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
