If you discount this individual's full name, the article then stands at 3 words in length: "Dario Martinelli is a zoomusicologist." End of substub. Is there a minimum length for articles on Wikipedia, or should this be kept? GRider\talk 21:13, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I do not believe there is a minimum length for articles. It would be silly, just write more. Hyacinth 21:37, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, just under the bar of notability - 270 Google hits. Megan1967 23:00, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, unless article is rewritten and can establish some sort of notability. Writing substubs like this is basically forcing someone else to write an article that the original contributor can't be bothered to write. That's what requested articles is for. This is just useless, and likely not encyclopedic anyway. -R. fiend 00:17, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- That's good, but Dario seems to fail the professor test. Delete unless he's done significantly more than already mentioned on the article. Radiant! 13:05, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
- What is the professor test? Hyacinth 23:24, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - a published professor is more notable than Pokemon - David Gerard 14:53, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Sayng "published professor" is somewhat redundant. Basically all professors are forced to publish if they want to keep their jobs. Are you saying all professors belong in wikipedia? Or that Pokemon don't (I agree with you there)? -R. fiend 20:52, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, I assume he's notable within the crowded field of zoomusicology. More notable than the average pokéologist. Kappa 21:32, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Professors who have published a significant number of scientific articles and several books are definitely notable. But Martinelli really is a borderline case, in my eyes. He seems to have a post-doc position and his publications are limited to his PhD thesis (published in an Acta series and not by a major publisher), a co-edited book, and just a handful of scientific articles. Three (!) mentions of his name in the Zoomusicology article might be enough until he has had some more work published. I'll abstain for now. Alarm 00:26, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- No evidence yet presented that he passes the "average professor" test (see Wikipedia:criteria for inclusion of biographies). Delete unless further evidence can be presented. Rossami (talk) 23:29, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the link. Hyacinth 00:06, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
