 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An entirely-unsourced personal bio (only refs are to amazon.com listings). I don't see any claim that meets WP:NPROF. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 20:22, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - There are a few sources out there, but they don't appear to be in-depth enough to show he passes WP:GNG, and his citation count is not of the level needed to show he passes WP:NSCHOLAR. If enough sourcing is found, and the decision is to keep, the article should be moved to remove the disambiguation of "Sumerologist", since this is the only article about someone by that name.

 * Comment, WorldCat appears to show quite a few books authored (joint) by Donbaz, with Neo-Assyrian legal texts in Istanbul being held in 60 libraries and Middle Assyrian Texts from Assur at the Eski Şark Eserleri Müzesi in İstanbul being held in 50 libraries- does this make his works "well known" (probably in this field?) thus meeting part of no. 3 of WP:AUTHOR (now where are those reviews:))?

 * Comment, oh, here are a couple: review of Middle Assyrian Texts from Assur at the Eski Sark Eserleri Muzesi in Istanbul inAula Orientalis and review of Keilschrifttexte in den Antiken-Museen zu Stambul, II. (Chief Scriptures in the Antique Museums to Stambul) in Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies :) Coolabahapple (talk) 19:56, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article is a CV, though that could be fixed with editing. Several papers with low double-digit citations (h-index 9) is below our conventional threshold level for academics. Glad to switch positions if there's more here that could be found. Agricola44 (talk) 16:55, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
