[edit] Albert Tarantola

No real assertion of notability, nor any references. Article was created by the subject, and so is in conflict with WP:AB. Oli Filth 12:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. —David Eppstein 18:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Not my area at all, so correct me if I'm misinterpreting, but Google Scholar [1] seems to show very extensive citation of his book (772) & research papers (eg 709, 372, etc), which would seem sufficient to meet WP:PROF. I don't believe that conflict of interest is necessarily a problem if the article is neutral and the subject meets the notability threshold. Espresso Addict 18:39, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. See also this related AfD of a concept related to one of Tarantola's books. —David Eppstein 02:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep despite the whiff of vanity. A good number of citations. Leibniz 12:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Although the article is created by the subject, his book 'Inverse problem theory (etc)' has a whopping 1300 citations according to ISI Web of Science. Many of is other papers are well cited too. That makes him notable IMO. Han-Kwang (t) 20:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
