[edit] Christos Trikalinos
Vanity page. IP address is registered to subject's university ([1]). Chick Bowen 03:36, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- But NB this is not a student but an assistant professor, and his subject is not [insert goofy, worthless non-subject here] but physics. His website is here; unfortunately it's all Greek to me. Neutral for now. -- Hoary 06:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Quite notable in high-energy physics - see [2]. Also president of the Greek national federation of university professors (POSDEP). Dlyons493 06:57, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- I babelfished the page (all your physics...) and it appears to be a student aid page for Physics classes. Other hits were for a faculty union and the Physics department bulletin board. I could find nothing of strong note, but then again he is indeed am assistant professor. Neutral and I hope someone can glean more about him than I. KillerChihuahua 14:06, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. A president of a frederation of university professors should be notable enough. Groeck 16:42, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not every professor deserves an article. Gamaliel 19:37, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete echoing above. The record of publication and talks seems very slight for a professor of any notability. Dottore So 21:07, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Not because every Assistant Professor is notable, or everyone who gets a phsyics paper published is, but Prof. Trikalinos is the president of POSDEP, has been cited in news articles here, here and has spoken at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center here. I can't verify that he has 50 articles published, but, nevertheless, three or four borderline reasons for notability add up to notable enough. Jkelly 22:27, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- A niggling point, perhaps, but your third link above is for a conference in Armenia at an institute affiliated with Stanford, not actually at Stanford. As for his union, I don't know what to make of it--in the US an Assistant Professor would never be the head of a faculty union. Perhaps that just demonstrates my ignorance about Greece. Chick Bowen 04:24, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Don't know what to make of the Armenia thing. In Greece, Assistant Professors have tenure. Jkelly 07:22, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Notable enough physicist for mine. Capitalistroadster 22:59, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. For notability as a physicist, I'd expect at least one major achievement described, and I don't think I'm asking for too much if I expect a link or two to cited articles. Without any of those, notability is missing. Owen× ☎ 23:52, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't think wikipedia is ready to mirror the CVs of all professors. If his work is notable, then I'll change my vote --Vsion 03:30, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Professors are notable enough for an encyclopaedia of broad scope. If there is no doubt that this guy exists and is what it says he is, he should be kept. Grace Note 06:53, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. "(H)e has published 29 articles in international journals" is the most notable thing this article can say. While this may be a Good Thing, I believe the bar must be set higher for an article to be kept. I would also request evidence of some major achievement. Denni☯ 02:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Despite you believe, a higher bar is not current policy. Keep ··gracefool |☺ 22:03, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup. Seems notable enough. --Andylkl (talk) 16:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Given that a deletion seems unlikely at this point, I have cleaned up the article. Chick Bowen 21:13, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
