[edit] Michael Anshel

I first noticed this page as a copyvio. You can see it was taken mostly from here. After I tagged it, the person who put it on Wikipedia notified me that they wrote it with Michael Anshel. So, this falls under the criteria for a vanity page. Additionally, it can be seen as a bit of spamming, as a link to his website was inserted several times and removed on the cryptography article by the same person as well. There is a question of lack of notability as well: half his CV is just stuff about his former students, only 8 published papers (compare with someone like Menezes). To me he seems like an average professor. Only 247 google hits. CryptoDerk 14:01, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
