Does not appear to meet WP:NPROF or WP:GNG. Highest accolades are not sourced independently. In fact there is no significant coverage in secondary sources. –– FormalDude  talk  11:59, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NPROF C1 for highly cited papers. Agree that article needs more secondary sources.  Captain OatMeal  (talk) 13:56, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment, leaning keep. He has ~6600 Scopus citations and an h-index of 40, which would normally be enough for me to not even look at his coauthors. His presidency of the Italian Bioinformatics Society might also be enough for C6, depending on how "major" it is. However, looking at his highest-cited papers, he's always a middle author; in fact, out of his top 20 publications, he is first or last author on just 3: his first-author dissertation paper in PNAS in 1988 (138 cites), a last-author Bioinformatics article with just 3 authors (88), and a last-author BMC Cancer article (76). I don't really want to write a script scraping all 976 coauthors off his Scopus paper list (my normal approach is to pull from the Scopus coauthors list, but that is limited to 150 people), so can someone else maybe provide input on whether his scholarship impact is significantly above that of the average cancer professor?

 * Weak keep as per JoelleJay's comments. Not 100% sure. WP:DINC. -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:41, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Leaning keep per strength of citations. BD2412  T 04:21, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, paid spam and meets WP:G5 anyway (I reported to SPI and sent evidence to functionaries). MarioGom (talk) 16:30, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Week keep Article is in a poor state, but subject appears to meet WP:NPROF. MrsSnoozyTurtle 02:01, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
