Roberto Navigli's page

[edit]

Hi, I am wondering whether you can help out with Eritr's tag on Notability and CV for Roberto Navigli. I have been editing several pages of researchers (including this one), however this is an objective case for encyclopedic notability, as discussed in the talk page (in which Eritr did not participate). The page satisfies several notability criteria, but that user keeps reverting the Notability tag. Also, the Like resume tag is obsolete: as can be seen in the history, many changes have been made to the page in order to avoid lists of prizes and make the text plain. I just want to avoid a tag war, which is why I would like to avoid removing the tags. Thanks for your help! Lauretana1975 (talk) 05:11, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
