Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/V. David Sánchez A.
Too many  and  problems here. The claim to being an IEEE Fellow is almost certainly either false or misleading. Being an elected IEEE Fellow is a permanent designation (basically until the person dies). The fact that, as Ruud notes, Sanchez' name does not appear in the list of IEEE Fellows at the IEEE website http://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/fellows/alphabetical/index.html indicates that the claim is likely false. Moreover the wording used in the article - "He was awarded the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Fellow Award in 1995" - suggests that it may have been a grant (research or travel fellowship rather than being elected an IEEE Fellow), which is not what  #C3 has in mind. The article also says that "In 1997, Sánchez was invited to become a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). " Being a member of AAAS is no honor at all - ''anybody'' can join AAAS by filling out an application form and paying a fee; being an elected Fellow of AAAS is a significant honor but Sanchez is not an AAAS Fellow. The only serious claim to fame here is having been the editor-in-chief of ''Neurocomputing''. I checked the JCR and this journal is listed there under the category "computer science, artificial intelligence". In 2010 it has the impact factor of 1.442, which ranks it no. 50 among the journals in that category. Moreover, looking up the impact factor for the journal for the previous years shows that in 2006 it had the impact factor of 0.86 and in 2007 of 0.85, considerably less than the current impact factor. The article says that Sanchez was editing the journal for the first 15 years of its existence, that is, presumably from 1989 to around 2005. It appears that during that time the journal had much more marginal standing than even its current modest no 50 ranking in the "computer science, artificial intelligence" category. I do not think that this satisfies #C8. There are quite a few other red flags here. The citation record for his work in GoogleScholar, and the WebofScience is minimal, almost non-existent. Also, even for the run-of-the mill researchers in any given field, a plain google search for their name usually produces a large number of hits giving links to conference and seminar talks by these researchers. Googling gives almost nothing of the sort here. All in all, too fishy, too self-promotional, and has too many  and  issues
