[edit] Thomas Papadopoulos

Thomas Papadopoulos (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Difficult to verify the assertions, and this one is marginal notable. NonvocalScream (talk) 15:54, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Maybe I looked in the wrongs spots, but I failed to find coverage of the article's subject in a reliable, secondary source (or in a primary source, for that matter). fails WP:BIO. Lazulilasher (talk) 17:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, very nearly a speedy as a non-notable biography. The closest thing I see here to an assertion of notability is that he's the "author of a number of legal articles", and that doesn't really say much - plenty of people have written and published papers, but relatively few of them are well-known for having done so, and Mr. Papadopoulos doesn't appear to be one of them.

  • Delete, no assertion of notability at all. KleenupKrew (talk) 23:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete The notability depends on the articles, the number and importance. It cant be assumed from a Wikipedia bio like this that the work either is or is not significant, and I wouldn't be prepared to !vote without looking for myself. Actually looking, in this case in Google Scholar, as a preliminary, I find 4 or 5. (there are 3 as ssrn) There's an alternate form of the name: . Ioannis Papadopoulos - I don;'t think he's notable yet. As he apparently is 24 years old, that seems reasonable. DGG (talk) 00:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Author had blanked page within a day of creating article, also fails WP:BIO. Paste (talk) 19:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
