 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Overhyped student record, a few student awards, but no sign of passing WP:PROF or accumulating some other real notability. Was listed as a WP:CSD speedy deletion, and I agree with the spirit of that listing, but I thought it would be more appropriate to take it to a full AfD: there are some claims of notability in the article, I just don't find them convincing. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. An active junior academic but no significant accomplishments yet. Only sigle-digit citations for his papers per GoogleScholar and WoS. Fails WP:PROF and WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 03:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't give the PhD date, but presumably around 2004, and there's no evidence of extraordinary achievement which would merit including someone so early in their academic career. A Google Scholar search uncovered only a handful of citations. The Mensa stuff doesn't seem relevant. Doesn't yet seem to meet WP:PROF. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a vanity article. WP is not for posting CVs.--Berig (talk) 08:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant notability. Web of Science shows 14 papers, none cited more than 6 times. The IQ test material would need a very good source to show the importance. DGG (talk) 17:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wiki is not a proper place for CVs... --Nice poa (talk) 07:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * In my honest opinion, all articles created by Omni Scientia seem to be created only to promote "Sigma Society" (which is a source included in all articles created by this user). In Portuguese Wikipedia, Hindemburg Melão Jr. (who seems do be Omni Scientia) was deleted pt:Wikipedia:Páginas para eliminar/Hindemburg Melão Jr.. I believe it's a kind of a spam.
