Nomination on behalf of User:Andreasmperu, who does not believe the subject meets WP:PROF, writing that: "The Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal (Lima) (where he teaches) is not considered even in the top 10 of the universities in Peru (you can see here it's at the 48th place), so I can't imagine what relevance has at a global level. The so-called publications aren't in scientific journals peer-rewiewed, but in student journals or other journals available to any person not necessarily academic. And he is not cited for anybody, he is not even well-known in the peruvian academic media. He had not received any award or recognition from any institution (less from a prestigious one). Worse, he hasn't earn any graduate degree in philosophy (not a master not a Ph.D.)."

I declined the A7 on this in light of the article's several (unproven) claims to notability, but have no position on this debate. Skomorokh 08:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 *  Delete  : I found a long lost essay I wrote around 5th grade on credit and economics. The cover is a collage of newspaper clippings on credit and stock quotes. I don't want to make fun of the guys's publications, I haven't checked them, but certainly the article text is a bit lacking in obvious notability. Are any of these publications cited anywhere? Did they assert novel conclusions subsequently examined by others in the field or popular press? Did they constitute widely cited review or summary articles with no new hypotheses?

 * Delete. These publications at the bottom appear to be highly non-notable in their own right, and I don't see any verifiable proof that the subject would pass WP:PROF. Nerd, your reference to your own essay, I don't get it. Drmies (talk) 18:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - the references are all works by him, I don't see any independent reference about him, and a Scholar search doesn't show him being cited extensively, or indeed at all. I don't think he meets the standard of WP:PROF. For what it's worth, though I don't know how their standards compare with ours, the Spanish-speakers might be better placed to check him out, and his article on :es was deleted as "without encyclopedic relevance" which I guess is equivalent to our A7.
