== American historians and diffusion ==
*Copying a post from [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_History#American_historians_and_diffusion]] - please comment there. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 01:33, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
[[:Category:American historians]] is marked for diffusion and until earlier today, several subcategories by topic (altho not all), such as [[:Category:American art historians]] were marked as non-diffusing. Obviously, this is a contradiction. I started out by taking the non-diffusing categories and putting them in the parent category and received some feedback questioning it. I have since removed the parent category and the non-diffusing tags (adding them back would be trivial, of course). I suggested that an alternate scheme for diffusing the parent [[:Category:American historians]] may be [[:Category:American historians by state|by state]] and made a couple of these categories as a start: [[:Category:Historians from California]] and [[:Category:Historians from Pennsylvania]]. I am offering two questions to this WikiProject:
#Should subtopic categories of [[:Category:American historians]] be marked as non-diffusing?
#Should [[:Category:American historians]] be diffused by state?
{{Ping|Johnbod}}, {{Ping|Philafrenzy}}, who posted to my talk. Please {{tl|Ping}} me if you need me directly for this conversation. Note that I will happily edit the categories however the community decides but that at the moment, [[:Category:American historians]] is diffused by topic as it was 24 hours ago and there are only the two categories by state which I am not populating until I get more feedback. I will continue diffusing [[:Category:American historians]] [[:Category:American historians by century|by century]], which is a pre-existing scheme. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 17:26, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
:I don't have a strong opinion on (1), but my answer to (2), the proposed by-state categorization, is a strong oppose. There is no significant difference in their approach to history that falls along state lines (except for the small fraction of historians whose interest is purely local, who should be categorized according to where their interests lie not where they are actually from), so the proposed subdivision would be a non-notable intersection and a non-defining categorization. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 20:00, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

== Selecting a professor's "most significant works/articles"? ==

When an academic has authored hundreds of journal articles how does one go about selecting a number of "significant articles" for a "selected works" list in the biography article? How does one even define "significance"? [[Karin Muraszko]]'s [https://scholar.google.co.za/citations?user=C7U0v54AAAAJ&hl=en Google Scholar profile] lists over 200 articles, she has an h-index of 38 and her articles have been cited almost 7000 times.

== S. M. Imamul Huq - becoming too promotional ==

See {{la|S. M. Imamul Huq}}. I don't know what to do about this. The editor doing this seems to be someone called M Abu Sayeed if I can trust Google translate, and that would give him a COI with several of the articles he's edited.

== Leonid Berlyand ==

Was wondering if someone would mind assessing [[:Leonid Berlyand]]? It was just created and it's largely unsourced; it's also not clear how this person meets [[:WP:GNG]] or [[:WP:PROF]]. Just for reference, I stumbled upon this via the user talk page of {{u|Theroadislong}}. I have done some minor clean up/formatting, etc., and Googled "Leonid Berlyand" looking for more sources, but all that seemed to pop up is stuff typically not considered [[:WP:SIGCOV]] to meet GNG. I'm not really too familiar with how academics are typically assessed for Wikipedia notability, so I'd figure I'd ask here for input. Thanks in advance. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 07:39, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Linda Shapiro]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[:Linda Shapiro]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>I don't believe that Professor Shapiro meets the basic [[WP:NOTE|notability]] guideline, of having "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." I looked through the top 50 G-Hits for "professor Linda Shapiro" and quickly realized that there are multiple subjects, found no independent reliable sources providing coverage, and got to the point where the three words were each appearing separately in the article instead of together.</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Linda Shapiro|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> <span style="color:#fff;background:Blue">&nbsp;★&nbsp;</span> [[User:BigrTex|<span style="color: blue;">Bigr</span>]] [[User Talk:BigrTex|<span style="color: red;">Tex</span>]] 02:58, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

== [[William Tasman]] ==

While [[WP:RCP|recent changes patrolling]], I came across this article on [[William Tasman]], created by [[User:SeanPatrickConnolly|a new user]] and [[WP:SPA|single purpose account]].  Normally I only review clean cut [[WP:VANDAL|vandalism]], so I wasn't exactly sure what to do with this.  Appears to be a [[WP:AGF|good faith]] attempt to add an article, but there have been a few problems.  (Initially was unsourced, continues to upload non-free images to commons, etc.)  Also, it [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Tasman&diff=845263814&oldid=845260616 appears there's now] a [[WP:SOCK|sock]] as another [[WP:SPA|single purpose account]] is involved.

:I think he probably gets over the notability bar [[WP:PROF|for academics]]. His death was covered in a few places, like medical journals and philly.com. He doesn't have a Google Scholar profile, but a search suggests that several of his papers have been cited >100 times (though he was the first author of only a small number of them). He was the president of a couple of national ophthalmology organizations, which I think also speaks to his influence but may not help directly under WP:PROF.

== Help on Sources for [[Draft:Ann Patricia Bowling]] ==

Hi, I've been trying to help {{u|AnnQoLAge}} work on [[Draft:Ann Patricia Bowling]] within the bounds of [[WP:BLP]], and based on [[Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(academics)#Help_with_notability_for_Ann_Bowling|Wikipedia talk:Notability_(academics)]] I feel confident she is notable enough per [[WP:PROF]], but there are 2 outstanding honors I'm having trouble citing:
*"In July 2006, Bowling was elected Fellow of the Faculty of Public Health, of the [[Royal College of Physicians]]  of the United Kingdom.
*''Measuring health''won Highly Commended in the Basis of Medicine section in the 1998 [[British Medical Association]] Medical Book Competition.
She was able to get emails from both institutions confirming that she did receive those awards, but I know those aren't citable. FFPH say they don't list people's names online, and the BMH says they don't have online records of their book awards from back in 1998. At this point, I'm looking for help figuring out where to keep searching for confirmation, or some indication if this article is ok to publish with those citations outstanding, or maybe I could even publish it without mentioning that information?

== Entry on the late Pamela Sue Anderson (PSA for short) ==

Wikipedia entry on PSA is extremely basic and, in it, there is the warning that it should be erased if nobody adds relevant information to it. I believe that, while PSA was an Oxford academic from 2001 until her death last year, she was concerned with important subjects (such as whether female students are at a disadvantage vis-à-vis male colleagues). In addition, she specialized in continental philosophers (such as hermeneuts like French P. Ricoeur and German H.-G. Gadamer) at a time when Oxford largely ignored them. Lastly, PSA knew, and was known by, leading feminist thinkers in both Europe and her native North America. In short, I believe she does deserve to be mentioned in Wikipedia. I cannot do much to avoid that her current stub entry be removed, because I have no experience about editing Wikepedia entries, and Wikipedia ways look to me fiendishly hard to learn due to hyper-detailed instructions to be heeded, while I surely lack the time to learn them. My contribution is a section I've inserted in the talk page of the PSA entry where I have copied a number of URLs carrying information on PSA's life and academic views -- just in case someone feels like drafting a more substantial entry.[[User:Hdjf3|Hdjf3]] ([[User talk:Hdjf3|talk]]) 15:20, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Would someone from this taskforce mind taking a look at this article and assessing it? It was created by someone hired by Pazy's family and it was not submitted for review via [[:WP:AFC]]. I've done a bit of minor clean up, but there's still some issues that need sorting, particularly with respect to the sourcing (it seems that most of them are to documents, etc. uploaded to Commons).

== RfC on Bruno Bettelheim article ==

Bettelheim was director of a residential school for children and teenagers at the University of Chicago from 1944 to '73, and also a professor there.  He wrote the books ''The Empty Fortress'' (1967) and ''The Uses of Enchantment'' (1976).

Arguably, after his death in 1990, he was discredited in several ways, and that is the crux of the matter.

You are invited to a Request for Comment entitled 'RfC: how to cover someone who doesn't have credentials for their field?'

The specific question is: 'Should our lead sentence describe Bettelheim as a "child psychologist"?'

== Article on Edwin Chapman ==

Hello, I am attempting to get a biography page for Dr. Edwin Chapman accepted. This is my first attempt at putting together a Wikipedia page. I submitted a version in April and was rejected for lack of citations. I rewrote the entry including as many citations as possible, I would really appreciate any feedback. The article hasn't been re-reviewed since the original rejection in April. Is this typical? (about 5 months wait?) Is there anything that I can do to facilitate getting this bio published? 

Appreciate your feedback!

Would someone from S&A mind taking a look at this article? Someone claiming to be the subject of the article showed up at the Teahouse to ask [[:WP:THQ#Uploading Copyright Release|this question]]. It appears this account has been editing the article over the years and the article might need some editors experienced with these types of BLPs to go over it and figure out what if anything needs to be removed/cleaned up. I've done some basic clean up of embedded external links, but the prose itself may need to be check per [[:WP:NPOV]] and [[:WP:BLPSOURCES]] types of errors. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 04:58, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

:I placed a Start-class rating on it, but I am not knowledgeable about the subject matter and do not speak French, so others are free to disagree. I don't know what the importance of this entry is to those other WikiProjects, so I left those for others to do. I made a few formatting changes, like bolding the subject's name in the first sentence. (Why is the word ''excavations'' in quotation marks?) When I write an article and want to move it up a notch on the quality scale (like from Stub to Start, or from C to B), I find that the hardest jump always seems to be from Start-class to C-class for some reason. Good luck. [[User:Larry Hockett|Larry Hockett]] ([[User talk:Larry Hockett|Talk]]) 23:09, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
::Hello, {{u|Larry Hockett}}. My apologies for replying so late to you. Actually, while replying to my comment you did not ping me, and somehow, I forgot to check back. Dr. Kurbanov is arguably one of the leading archaeologists in his area of research. Also, I placed the word "excavations" in quotation marks because it appears so (the same word) in the source cited, and I wanted to abide by the COPYVIO. I try to do as much rephrasing as possible, but sometimes, it's too demanding. I simply did not know how to do rephrasing by not using the exactly same word. Thanks, [[User:Мастер Шторм|Мастер Шторм]] ([[User talk:Мастер Шторм|talk]]) 14:54, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
:::{{u|Мастер Шторм}} - I apologize for the lack of a ping. I meant to ping you, but then I noticed that I didn't have the characters in your username available on my keyboard, and I think I got distracted before I could look into it further - and then I just forgot. This time I just used copy-paste to ping you. My question about the quote marks is this: What does the author mean when he places the word in quotes? Is he using [[scare quotes]] to suggest that the subject did not really excavate anything? Because of this lack of clarity, scare quotes generally do not belong in encyclopedic writing. See [[MOS:SCAREQUOTES]] for more information. [[User:Larry Hockett|Larry Hockett]] ([[User talk:Larry Hockett|Talk]]) 10:28, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

== [[Justin Pierre Marie Macquart]]'s correct full name ==

According to a 2016 Zootaxa monograph on this French entomologist ([https://www.mapress.com/j/zt/article/view/zootaxa.4172.1.1/8485 Full text PDF download available here]), Macquart's full name was actually "Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart" (see page 7). So "Justin Pierre Marie Macquart" seems to be the wrong title for the article on him. However, some of the other language Wikipedias (e.g. French Wikipedia) instead use the title "Pierre Justin Marie Macquart", with no hyphens. So, which should we use for the article's title: "Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart" with hyphens as in the monograph, or "Pierre Justin Marie Macquart" without hyphens to be consistent with French Wikipedia? [[User:Monster Iestyn|Monster Iestyn]] ([[User talk:Monster Iestyn|talk]]) 17:47, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
: Since there has been no reply for over 4 days now, I think I'll just be [[WP:BOLD]] and go for the hyphenated name. [[User:Monster Iestyn|Monster Iestyn]] ([[User talk:Monster Iestyn|talk]]) 00:53, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

::{{Ping|Xxanthippe}} Thank you for taking a look at this.

:::OK. It looks good for expansion. Best wishes. [[User:Xxanthippe|Xxanthippe]] ([[User talk:Xxanthippe|talk]]) 05:30, 22 July 2020 (UTC).
:Assess as in: this looks like a C-class article? Because that's both the rating already given on the talk page by {{u|John from Idegon}} and what I would have chosen. If you want pointers on how to take it further, I would start with the education and career section, which gives most of the basic milestones but misses some like his retirement date, and has no detail or color beyond that. And the research section is too reliant on Gross's own publications; in this area you should at least be able to find [[MathSciNet]] and [[zbMATH]] reviews of his papers to work from instead. Anyway, good job; I usually aim for start-class for new biography articles and this goes well beyond that. As X already said, Amacad is by itself enough for notability, so there should be nothing to worry about on that score. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 05:26, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

== Ubiquitous IEEE deadlinks ==

I've been digging through [[CAT:NN]] and I've frequently come across articles on IEEE Fellows such as [[Stergios Roumeliotis]]. Scholars like him would clearly meet [[WP:NPROF]] based on their status as IEEE Fellows—except for the fact that the source establishing the fact that they are fellows is a deadlink. The same is true for a vast number of members of [[:Category:Fellow Members of the IEEE|Category:Fellow Members of the IEEE]]. Can anyone think of a way to remedy this without going through each article individually? Many thanks in advance.

== Recommendations for "works" section ==

In biographies on academic figures, what are the recommendations for the works section? Is there any easy way to list a person's "top" publications and/or books? Particularly, advice is welcome at [[Stephen Fuchs]], where currently we're listing a random selection of books and papers. [[User:Sam-2727|Sam-2727]] ([[User talk:Sam-2727|talk]]) 05:22, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
:I don't think this is in any way definitive, but I can at least describe what I've been doing: I tend to list all books for which I can find independently published reviews (even the edited volumes, but usually not unreviewed edited volumes or unreviewed self-published books). I have sometimes selected journal and conference articles to list based on citation counts, but that's dubious for multiple reasons (for instance it tends to favor survey articles rather than original contributions, and doesn't factor in the subject's contribution to multi-author works). Instead, if possible, I'd prefer to list only the articles for which there's something nontrivial to say in the text of the article: they won a notable prize, or their discoveries became an independently notable topic, or something like that. A recent example that I've been working on is [[Ronald Graham]], where the list of selected works is quite a bit longer than I would generally prefer (8 books and almost 20 articles) but where there were too many well-reviewed books, award-winning publications, and independently notable topics started by Graham or named after Graham for me to cut it down to shorter. If I were going to pick a number of selected articles to aim for in general, I'd say around six, many fewer than I listed for Graham. But to some extent it depends on the length of the overall biography; a list like Graham's that would overwhelm a stub or start-class biography might be ok for a full-length article. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 06:18, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
::The case of [[Ronald Graham]] is perhaps untypical as he is a person of stunning achievement. For people of lesser, but passing notability, the line of least resistance is to go for a handful (less than five) of the works most cited in [[Google scholar]]. Elaborations can be made on that basis. [[User:Xxanthippe|Xxanthippe]] ([[User talk:Xxanthippe|talk]]) 06:51, 14 August 2020 (UTC).

== Help with [[Justin Picard]] ==

Hey there. Just wanted to pop in and ask for some help with the [[Justin Picard]] article (specifically, the removal of its {{tl|notability}} tag if possible), which pertains to this WikiProject. There seems to be some diverging opinions on the subject's notability; as the inventor of the [[copy detection pattern]], I'm of the opinion that [[WP:NACADEMIC]] should be applied to gauge his notability alongside [[WP:GNG]], and even that criterion 2 of [[WP:CREATIVE]] ("The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique") may apply in this case.

I recently [[User talk:MrOllie#Notability tag at Justin Picard|presented my argument on the subject's notability]] to {{userlink|MrOllie}}, who added the aforementioned notability tag to the article, in a courtesy request to have it removed. However, he does not feel that the article is adequately sourced and may do a search on additional literature; {{userlink|SL93}} (the reviewer who accepted the article's AfC draft and moved it to the mainspace) [[User talk:Davykamanzi#Your submission at Articles for creation: Justin Picard (November 25)|feels it could survive an AfD nomination]], though isn't "entirely convinced." Additional help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

:{{u|Davykamanzi}}, 'adequately sourced' is not the externt of my objections: I do not believe that copy detection patterns are a 'significant new concept'. The only reason we have an article on them is because Picard wrote the Wikipedia article himself. You also neglected to mention that you were paid to write the article on Picard  - it would be good practice if you would include that information when starting discussions about articles you have been paid to work on. - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 18:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

:I could argue it either way. The GScholar results [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&q=Justin+Picard&btnG=] show moderate citation of his patents. I share the doubts expressed above on the extent to which the concept is completely new, or that he is the inventor, and it seems that other patents in the field are more highly cited. '''[[User:DGG| DGG]]''' ([[User talk:DGG| talk ]]) 05:22, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
:[edit conflict] The idea of preventing counterfeit or contraband copies by making a mark that is hard to copy is probably as old as money, and certainly as old as the combination of printed money and photocopiers. The [[copy detection pattern]] article appears highly promotional to me, in its portrayal of one system as the solution to this problem and its omission of any context of prior similar systems. But that's all beside the point, for the question of whether a notability tag belongs on the [[Justin Picard]] article. He is obviously not notable as an academic, mainly because he is not an academic but also because his citation record is not strong enough, so we must judge him by the standards of [[WP:GNG]] instead. By that standard, we need in-depth reliable independent sources about Picard (not about the copy detection pattern). What we have is a link to a photo on globalinitiative.net of someone that might be Picard, an author profile on IEEE provided by the author himself to go with his publications (that's what the profiles there are), and a deadlink on the World Economic Forum site. Those three are not in-depth, not independent, or nonexistent, and the other footnotes in the article are not about Picard at all. So I agree that he appears not to pass [[WP:GNG]] and that the notability tag should stay on the article. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 05:32, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

== Obituaries published in journals ==

Does anybody know the process for obituaries being published in journals? That is, what is the reliability of obituaries published in reputable specialist journals? 

This probably varies from journal to journal, but here's an example of a specific obituary in question: [https://digitalcommons.macalester.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1285&context=himalaya this obituary]. Currently, this obituary is used in [[Aparna Rao]] to cite that Rao {{tq|died of cancer on 28 June 2005}} and {{tq|Rao's research works included the impact of the conflict in Kashmir on the environment and lives of people}}.

::{{U|David Eppstein}} has I think given an authoritative response to this  on that talk page As I understand it: The scientific part consists of expert opinion. The plain facts are plain facts. Sometimes there's anecdotes, which I generally think inappropriate for us to use unless the person is extremely famous.

:::I'd add that there's a bit of a difference between appreciations or memorials (as linked) and full obituaries, which tend to have more fact and less flummery. But in general I see no reason to discount or downgrade obituaries published in academic journals; they form a fundamental part of the sourcing for deceased academics. There's no reason in general to consider them as similar to self-published sources. If there's doubt, the formulation, "[academic A], in her obituary in ''[journal B]'', writes that she 'quotation'" could be used.

== Named professorships? ==

(Originally posted at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer science]])

Many academics' pages list named professorships in the lead, particularly in BLP pages. E.g. "X is currently the Ruth P. and Jeremy Q. Jones Dean of the School of Engineering and Chancellor's Professor of Computer Science at Y university."

To me, these named professorships read like an academic formality and don't really help in terms of introducing the reader to the person and why they are important. I think they would be perhaps appropriate to list in an accolades/recognition section but I don't see the point in the lead. Is there a general policy here and what do others think? [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 18:09, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

:Having a named professorship is more prestigious/rarer than just being a professor; it's rarer / more prestigious. One of the [[WP:NACADEMIC]] criteria is holding such a named professorship, so that I think should be highlighted in order to demonstrate notability. Plus that's the title of their job; to me it makes sense to include their actual job title in the lead. It's pretty common for sources to include the full job title, e.g., {{tq|Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor at Harvard and an executive producer and the host of the popular PBS program “Finding Your Roots,” told me, ...}} from [https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/03/14/did-george-washington-have-an-enslaved-son ''The New Yorker''] or {{tq|Salomone, the Kenneth Wang professor of law at St. John’s University School of Law, tends to glide over why English won}} from [https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/18/books/review/the-rise-of-english-rosemary-salomone.html ''The New York Times'']. Not sure if there's a formal policy on Wikipedia, these are just my initial thoughts. [[User:Umimmak|Umimmak]] ([[User talk:Umimmak|talk]]) 23:44, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
::Yes, this fits under [[MOS:FIRSTBIO]] #1 ("name and title": it's their job title), #4 ("One, or possibly more, noteworthy positions"), and #5 ("The main reason the person is notable": having a named professorship is a reason for notability under [[WP:PROF#C5]]). Sometimes they can be a formality, in the same sense that an award without a monetary prize is: a cheap way of telling the recipient and the world that their accomplishments are valued. And they certainly don't explain why the recipient was chosen for that honor. But nevertheless it is an honor, a significant one among academics, and I think usually a lead-worthy one. ——[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 02:11, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

== Donald Landry ==

Perhaps some members of S&A could take a look at [[:Donald Landry]] and clean it up a bit. I'm almost certain that the subject is notable, but there are probably some MOS issues that still need some addressing. I did some very minor cleanup, but more is likely needed. Perhaps there's a little too much detail in the "Personal life" section about his sons, but not sure. Someone also claiming to be Landry's "chief of staff" recently edited the article as well. I believe this was done in good faith, but might indicate a misunderstanding about Wikipedia, how and why articles are created and how article content is assessed. I added a template about COI editing to the user's talk page, but perhaps someone else more familiar with articles about academics and scientists might be able to offer more specific advise. The main concern has to do with [[:WP:PAID]] and whether this user is being asked to make changes to the article as part of her job or simply just has a more general COI. Such things could lead to problems is the user continues to try and directly edit the article themselves or get changes made by others if they're not clarified. The infobox image is going to need to go since non-free images of still living persons isn't really allowed per relevant policy, but perhaps the subject or his chief of staff would be willing to provided a freely licensed one if asked. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 22:34, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

== Highly-cited researchers ==

I think all of [https://www.webometrics.info/en/hlargerthan100 these researchers] are notable according to criterion 1 of [[wp:academic]]. Can someone move the list to Wikipedia so that we know which of them does not have an entry? [[User:Pirhayati|Ali Pirhayati]] ([[User talk:Pirhayati|talk]]) 03:47, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

: {{ping|Pirhayati}} Interesting idea. I created the list at [[User:Caleb Stanford/Highly Cited]]. [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 13:58, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

: There are many researchers where the Wiki page does exist, but the name isn't linked properly to the wiki page. I have all the names in a spreadsheet; if you have any ideas for a fix that I can apply with uniform pattern-matching, let me know. Seems like adding a period after the middle initial might help with many of them. [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 14:02, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

: Update: I used a formula to add periods to initials. That fixed many of the links near the top. [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 14:41, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

::Is there a way we can find which of them works in, say, philosophy? [[User:Pirhayati|Ali Pirhayati]] ([[User talk:Pirhayati|talk]]) 15:32, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

::: No, there's no feasible way to do that unfortunately. I only have the list of names, h-index, and number of citations in the spreadsheet. [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 15:37, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
::::I have redirected some of them, but they are still shown as red. [[User:Pirhayati|Ali Pirhayati]] ([[User talk:Pirhayati|talk]]) 16:03, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
::Actually, while most probably are notable, it is wrong to assume that all "are notable according to criterion 1 of [[wp:academic]]". A piece in ''[[Nature]]'' some years ago showed that the most highly-cited scientists of all are those (essentially) lab technicians who every now and then publish refined protocols for (especially) handling DNA samples. These are then cited in every paper using the protocol, which can run into thousands. Such people are not usually notable, or not for this. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 16:00, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
:::Probably such hints for exceptions should be mentioned in the guideline. [[User:Pirhayati|Ali Pirhayati]] ([[User talk:Pirhayati|talk]]) 16:04, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

::: {{ping|Johnbod}} do you have a link to that piece? I'm curious to learn more. [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 18:05, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
::::I don't actually think [https://www.nature.com/news/the-top-100-papers-1.16224 this one] was the piece I was thinking of, but it will do.  Try a google search. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 18:48, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

::::*{{u|Johnbod}}, I doubt there are lab technician with an h-index of 200 (or even 20-30)... In any case, it can be easily verified what kind of position someone has. A lab tech with one article cited a few thousand times may not be notable (although I think that's debatable), but any person on this list, with h-indices >100, is not a one trick tech. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 22:43, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
:::::*Well that's your OR. I suggest you read round the subject. My point was that the assumption at top may not be correct - the guideline requires "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." and developments in protocols may not meet that. The lab ones tend to have a number of authors btw.  [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 03:29, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

:::::*My point is that somebody with an h of 100 demonstrably ''has'' a significant impact. It means that they have 100 ''different'' papers cited at least 100 times for a minimum of 10,000 citations total. Can you give us an example of somebody like that who is not notable? Or of a tech who has developed 100 protocols cited at least 100 times? And given the fact that citations are almost always inverted-J distributed, the total number of citations will be many times 10,000. The most cited papers will each have thousands of citations. I agree that an h-index can be manipulated or misleading about notability when you're in the lower twenties or so, but not at this level. Of course, we all know about citation cartels, but I doubt that even the most brazen cartel could get somebody an h of 100.  --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 08:35, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

== Alex Wayman ==

Would some others mind taking a look at [[:Alex Wayman]] and see if there's anything to some recent edits claiming that the subject's name is actually "Alec"? The sources cited in the article refer to him as "Alex" and Googling "Alec Wayman Tibetologist" doesn't really come up with anything to indicate "Alec" is correct. The editor who made the change ({{no ping|AlecWyam}}) may have some connection to the subject and almost certainly made the change in good faith. I guess it could be an alternate spelling or perhaps "Alec" is a non-English spelling? -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 02:15, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
:{{ping|Marchjuly}} Yeah, his obit in ''The Tibet Journal'' {{jstor|43300964}} only has Alex, and as he seems to have spent his life in the U.S., I’m not sure if a non-English variant would have ever come up? I know in the past new editors have gotten confused between a "profile" for them and the article of a similarly named subject of an article, perhaps that’s what happened here? [[User:Umimmak|Umimmak]] ([[User talk:Umimmak|talk]]) 06:06, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you for taking a look at this {{u|Umimmak}}. It wouldn't be the first time, as you say, that a new user mistook a Wikipedia article for a "profile" page about themselves. It's a bit odd though that only the name was changed and not any of the other biographical data.

Hello, my name is Moshe. I'm here on behalf of [[David H. Rosmarin]], looking for help with his bio. I've suggested a much shorter version of the article on the [[Talk:David_H._Rosmarin|Talk page]].

Maybe some S&A members could take a look at [[:George Lynn Cross]]. The subject's grandson (no reason yet to not believe they're not) {{no ping|GeoPaul7}} did edit the article back in 2017, but I think that was done with the best of intentions. The same person most likely also requested assistance at [[:Talk:George Lynn Cross#Would like to update page]] using a different account back in 2014. There are some unsourced statements (one of which is even possibly a indirect quote) and perhaps some other [[:MOS:WTW]] type of stuff, but I believe Wikipedia notability is well established. Maybe some others could look this over and cleanup the things they notice. FWIW, I only came across this article after seeing some discussion related to images GeoPaul7 uploaded to Commons. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 22:59, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
