Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexei Gaina
Regarding COI, the fact that this is an auto-biography is not, in and of itself, a reason to delete the article, but it is a reason to scrutinize the article very closely. Regarding ghits, I would note that he apparently writes his name as Alex rather than Alexei in his publications, so googling should be done for "Alex Gaina". That being said, the data available does not establish notability per . GoogleScholar produces very little in terms of citability of his papershttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Alex%20Gaina%22&sa=N&tab=ps. I looked up the WebOfScience and found only a few papers by him listed there, with very low citation hits (low single digits tops). I also looked up the publication list at the astrophysics data system, the link of which is provided in the article. There are indeed 144 items listed there, which looks impressive but, in and of itself, insufficient. I clicked on a sample of about 20 of them, spread over a period of time, and again there are very few citations of his works recorded there, with top hits in low single digits. It is possible that somehow all these indexes miss a lot of relevant info since most of his publications are in eastern-european souyrces (Russian, Moldavian, Romanian, Serbian, etc). Still, I would want to see some positive evidence that his work substantially influenced the work of others in the area. So, based on the data available, does not pass
