Liviu Filotti

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nothing indicates that this individual is anything more than a perfectly ordinary professor, or that he has done something meriting inclusion under WP:PROF.

Let me also note that this forms part of a wider pattern of cruft on the Filotti family: see this discussion, this one, this one and this one for more details. - Biruitorul Talk 18:01, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. There's nothing in the article to indicate why he'd meet WP:Notability (people), and i see nothing on Google Books, News or Scholar either. Qwfp (talk) 16:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:44, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep This is one of a series of my articles which have been proposed for deletion. I have requested an arbitration on the matter and consider that the article should be kept until the conflict has been solved.
 * I would also like to point out that the Liviu Filotti is not worse than any of the other alumni of the Pierre and Marie University which are posted on Wikipedia, such as Thomas Ebbesen, Nassif Ghoussoub, Artur Ávila, Jean Serra or Ahmad Motamedi. What I have difficulties understanding is why the others are OK and this one is not. Afil (talk) 19:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I could find no arbitration request, unless you mean your two already-closed discussions of the nominator on WP:WQA . As for the other articles, please see Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions and Other stuff exists. Nevertheless, I'll answer your question: the first four articles you list mention several national-level awards and honors (such as being elected to an national academy) that their subjects have and your subject appears not to have. The fifth, Motamedi, looks undistinguished as a faculty member but was a national cabinet member and is notable for that. In addition, several of these people appear to have significantly higher citation counts in Google scholar than Filotti's, indicating that they likely pass WP:PROF and that Filotti does not. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:59, 1 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not enough notability of any sort. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC).
 * Delete Doesn't make the cut under either GNG or PROF, it's all part of the Filotti family cruft. Dahn (talk) 11:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
