WP:AUTOBIO Article created by User:Sbobkov possibly a coincidence but also only article contributed towards Amortias (T)(C) 21:50, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Question for the nominator: is the probability of being an autobiography the only reason for deletion? Deltahedron (talk) 06:34, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. GS h-index of 17 is good for a pure mathematician. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:57, 16 May 2014 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. The cites look good, and the subject probably also passes WP:PROF as a recipient of two well-known prizes.  WP:AUTOBIO in itself is not a strong reason for deletion, and the content of the article doesn't seem unduly self-promotional (although there are some style issues that should be fixed).

 * Weak keep - Actually, the cites are pretty weak. The only independent source with more than a passing mention is the Humboldt Research Award link. The rest are his CV and a visiting scholar blurb that may well have been written by him. I'm not sure what to make of the Humboldt Research Award - it's awarded to 70 researchers annually and the 60,000 EUR is good, but not spectacular, for a year of research - but at least it comes with a description of the importance of his research. So I think it's on the hairy edge of keep. RockMagnetist (talk) 01:06, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
