Lucian Mocan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wrote one paper in Nature Scientific Reports, another in a predatory open access journal, and published a book through an academic vanity press (also a publisher of predatory journals). The sole editor of the article is a WP:SPA. No reliable independent sources, appears not to pass WP:PROF. Guy (Help!) 10:13, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete An h-index on GS of only 17, with no paper breaking 100 citations, is too low for medical research. Moreover, once you discount the papers in journals from predatory publishers, the h-index drops to 12, and it would drop further after eliminating the citations to the remaining papers which come from predatory journals. In addition, the journal for which Mocan is editor-in-chief, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology and Nanomedicine, is published by "Research Publisher", which (a) reminds me of "beer"-brand beer and (b) is disreputable.

 * Delete. Even if we ignore the predatory publishing issue we don't have evidence of passing WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:38, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
