Lack of WP:NOTABILITY Monphi (talk) 19:13, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. Note the the nominator did not place an AfD tag at the article's page, as required by WP:AfD. I am having a hard time viewing this nomination as anything but disruptive. Even a cursory look shows that the subject is not merely notable but famous. Passes both WP:PROF and WP:BIO several times over. A named chair at Stanford - that by itself is already enough to pass WP:PROF#C5. Several prestigious prizes, including the Humboldt Prize, NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal, and several others, fellow of the American Physical Society and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (enough to pass WP:PROF#C3), etc, etc. Nsk92 (talk) 19:37, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. ISI highly cited is a clear pass of WP:PROF, the AAAS and APS fellows pass #C3 as even more do the NAS and NAE fellowships that are not yet mentioned in his article, the named chair is a clear pass of #C5, and the Humboldt Prize and Fluid Dynamics Prize arguably pass #C2. I don't want to guess at whether the nominator is severely ignorant of the standards for academic biographies here or has some other motivation, but this was a really bad nomination. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:13, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Look at the GS cites, for heaven's sake. This nomination amounts to vandalism. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:55, 31 May 2011 (UTC).
 * Snow Keep Nominator made a mistake, it happens, but we should not take any more time on this matter. Ray  Talk 01:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Irresponsible nomination. I've nothing else to say. Salih  ( talk ) 03:55, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. A course of action often followed by editors who have made an egregiously inappropriate AfD nomination is to withdraw the nomination gracefully and move on to other things. This reduces the workload of other editors. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:44, 1 June 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep - Professor holding a named professorship. Carrite (talk) 13:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep. It is not an exaggeration to say that Moin has been arguably the leader in turbulence research for more than a decade. His h-index is around 60 (WoS). Perhaps nom did not do the due diligence beforehand and I think xxan's suggestion of quick nom withdrawal would be a most graceful close. Nom, please don't allow further time to be wasted and close this down. Agricola44 (talk) 14:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC).
 * Comment. Posted request for same on nom talk. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 14:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC).


 * Speedy keep. Easily passes WP:ACADEMIC. GcSwRhIc (talk) 16:31, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep this person has produced notable advancements and contributions according to the sources. Fufills the criteria according to WP:PROF. Steve Quinn (talk) 05:44, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I withdraw this nomination. In Persian Wikipedia, his 3 lines article is only referenced by his own web page and starts with : "Professor Parviz Moein is one of the most significant university professors in the word" after that thought it is a self written article, and also English article, are about a trivial person, but now I regret to not search more about him.Monphi (talk) 18:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
