Nicola Cuomo

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A lecturer like so many others, it is unclear what his encyclopedic relevance is: he does not seem to have any publications of particular relevance (see, for example, Jstor and Google Scholar), nor has he distinguished himself for important academic work. Within en.wiki, he is cited only by the articles Max Wertheimer and Lev Vygotsky (inserted without specific reason in the "see also" section) and Cuomo (disambiguation page). The article, already deleted elsewhere (here is the deletion procedure on it.wiki), was created twelve years ago by a user who registered only to create this page and with promotional/autopromotional intentions. --Melquíades (talk) 23:08, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. A small number of citations in Scholar, and that's it. No indication of passing WP:PROF. The article was created by an SPA user in 2011. Nsk92 (talk) 19:50, 17 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Draftify Perhaps, this article should be completely rewritten portraying the subject as non-academic lecturer on learning topics. This way there won't be any confusion. His absense in any decent journals makes me think the article won't survive here under such angle. Rodgers V (talk) 12:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO or WP:PROF. Subject is simply not notable. (BTW I removed a paragraph of pure advertising). Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftify May need more work. Not notable. The person who loves reading (talk) 04:29, 19 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Nicola Cuomo's assessment falls far short. It may be that the entry in wiki.it has no longer been updated. But the entry in wiki.en should not be deleted. I'll check with the staff in Bologna. Until his death, Cuomo was professor at the University of Bologna. The idea of rewriting (@Rodgers V) is interesting and valuable 2A02:1210:3A0D:E300:8CFB:2A43:6E79:4DDF (talk) 14:01, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * He does not satisfy any of the notability criteria stated in WP:PROF. He has no notable publications in any international scientific journals (his most notable contribution is undoubtedly this 130-page monograph for ETS, a publishing house whose authors do not exactly have all that much notability prominence) - even almost no publications in non-Italian languages -, on Google Scholar there are very few on his contributions and almost not at all cited. Honestly, I don't see why it should be on Wikipedia (other than the fact that a monoscope user specifically signed up in 2011 to write this page). He is (was) an academic like thousands and thousands of others, who, unlike Nicola Cuomo, do not have a Wikipedia page simply because their research doesn't have "a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources". Having been a professor at the University of Bologna does not seem to me to be a reason to be on Wikipedia. Melquíades (talk) 18:16, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete Cannot see how he satisfies notability criteria. Equine-man (talk) 14:42, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
