[edit] Anirvan Ghosh

Fails WP:BIO (autobiography) and WP:PROF Wafulz 21:02, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Deleteweak keep (explained below) as it fails WP:BIO. Autobiographies are discouraged, but not forbidden.--Kchase T 21:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I added some material. I think the article now shows that he is more notable than the average professor. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 22:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm still not seeing it. How is he more notable than the average neuroscience researcher? (Obviously as a group they're not average people.)--Kchase T 23:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
    • I should have looked at the diffs. It's not much, but I suppose it's enough. He's done important work.--Kchase T 00:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Seems to be another non-notable academic. -- Necrothesp 23:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep With the extra material TruthbringerToronto has added, it is clear that he is a well respected figure in his field. He has articles in John Hokins and ScienceMag. Unfortunate that a He himself created an article on himself. --Ageo020 23:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. So he's written articles. So what? So have most academics. -- Necrothesp 23:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment No, No, he has articles written about him and his works in the external links. --Ageo020 23:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Oh, okay. But it seems to me like they're just profiling an up and coming young scientist, as many articles like this do. In a few years he may be notable enough to have an article here, but I don't think he is yet. He's only held a chair for three years. -- Necrothesp 23:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Full professor at a major research university, which makes him notable enough for me (i.e. more notable than most of the professional sportspeople around here). He holds a named professorship, which I believe is considered somewhat prestigious in the U.S. up+l+and 07:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this article was deleted once already under SPD as nn bio. --CPAScott 13:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment While I still support the deletion, I don't think prior speedy/proposed deletion falls under criteria for AfD dicussion. --Wafulz 18:09, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per UpplandDoctor Bruno 23:59, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
