Discussion on deletion of Armin Shams

Speedy deletion nomination of Armin Shams

A tag has been placed on Armin Shams requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Armin Shams

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Armin Shams, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable.

An answer for records

The comments in answer to delete fans seem to be more than adequate and adress the concerns of the wiki regulations. There are more than one reason for notability, supported by links to famous sites such as Standord, Thomson Reuters, ACM and Springer. I remember the deletion of this page was discussed before and it was eventually kept because of the references and expansion of the page. It is not fair to disregard all the evidences and just say it does not meet the criteria. If contrubuting to one ofthe most notable theorems in number theory is not notable then what is notable? Can anybody, given the answers and evidences, put their finger on a specific part of the regulations which they think is not met? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Olivemountain (talk • contribs) 21:30, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer and other contributing friends: WP:PROF says "If an academic/professor meets any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, they are notable.". Part 2 in its 'Notes and Examples' says: "Criterion 1 can also be satisfied if the person has ... solved a major problem ". This has happened once or twice in case of Armin Shams, substantiated by Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge research journals (WP:PROF approves: "the only reasonably accurate way of finding citations to journal articles in most subjects is to use one of the two major citation indexes, Web of Knowledge and Scopus."). Part 3 magnifies the evidence: "There are other considerations that may be used as contributing factors (usually not sufficient individually) towards satisfying Criterion 1, e.g.: significant academic awards and honors". He has achieved honors of national and international scale. The Khwarizmi International Award for example, is given by the president of the country and is apparently the most prestigous one they give. They say it is international but apparently it qualifies in national level with some international participation not comparable to Fields' medal or ACM's Turing Award.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project.

Regarding your comments at articles for deletion

Hi Olivemountain. I see you've taken an interest in !voting at articles for deletion. That's good; we could definitely use well-researched opinions there to gain consensus. However, make sure you know the notability guideline when you comment on AfDs. Regarding this edit, please note that you cannot "add" notability to a subject. Notability is based on the coverage of a subject in reliable sources, not the quality of an article. If you have any questions about the deletion process, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Thanks. Tim meh 02:40, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By adding notability I mean adding contents which helps with showing something is notable. Olivemountain (talk) 02:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied to your comment at my talk page. Tim meh 11:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sock/meatpuppetry at the AfD?

The voting at the AfD for Armin Shams is suspect. Please note that you should not recruit people to !vote - WP:MEATPUPPET or use alternative accounts to !vote - WP:SOCK. Fences&Windows 15:40, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: not only me but nobody should do so including the delete voters there, but anyway I suppose the decision is made based on the policy and references which the keepers are not short of. I hope that's not a matter of concern! Olivemountain (talk) 05:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

advice?

I invite you to revisit Aaron Krach to see how THIS has been much improved. Might you offer any suggestions for further cleanup? Thank you, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
