basically a copy of CV, no indication of notability. Also the user uploading the subject's photo, claiming own work, strongly suggests conflict of interest. Timmyshin (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - Looks more like a CV than a real article. Only reference included is a link to the subject's school web site. --  At am a  頭 22:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. Article is basically a copy of his CV.  For someone who finished their Ph.D. in 2009, they would have a tremendous career arc to be notable.  00:00, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. At least two of his papers, "Multiple factors causing Holocene lake-level change in monsoonal and arid central Asia as identified by model experiments" and "Holocene environmental change in the marginal area of the Asian monsoon: A record from Zhuye Lake, NW China" had relatively high citation counts on Google scholar for such recent work (though not high enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF. But drilling down, I find that many of these are self-cites. In any case he may well be on-track for a successful academic career but it's too soon to tell, and too soon to make an encyclopedia article. As for the likely COI, having a professionally lit portrait like that one labeled as "own work" flags the uploader for me as someone who plays fast and loose with rules — it seems very unlikely that the same person who took the photo is the one who would be writing such an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
