Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philip Vidal Streich


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect to 23116 Streich and delete history per consensus. Also, I did take note of the fact that the nominator only has 4 edits as in my view, AFD nominations should be made by here compliant editors. However, he could be a long time IP editor who created the account in order to make the nomination. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:24, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Question This is clearly a problematic article (POV, overblown, etc), having been edited by a succession of SPA editors and anonymous IPs (the latest one tracing back to Harvard University). However, I think the nom is problematic, too: somehow I cannot take a nom serious that is the very first contribution of a specific editor (who doesn't even sign the nom). So I would be interested in hearing from the nom why the references present in the article are insufficient to satisfy WP:N, what the nom thinks about the fact that an asteroid has been named after the subject, and what effort the nom has made to uncover possible other sources not yet present in the article that might establish notability (per WP:BEFORE). Thanks. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 21:56, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:N and WP:PROF. Has a handful of papers, but is first author on none. He is one of three winners of the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Will probably go far, but does not currently satisfy WP:N. -- 202.124.72.221 (talk) 08:41, 9 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: with Guillaume2303 I'm also sceptical about the editor of the nom, but after checking G, GNews, etc. I couldn't find enough for WP:N.-- Dewritech (talk)  17:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete: on TOOSOON. A lot of great awards and press, but basically all at the "young with promise" stage, not what we generally consider to be sufficient professional awards.  Could probably be recreated in a few years, so definitely re-research at a future AfD if it's > 2014ish.  -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 05:18, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
