Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mikhail Katz
Please re-read (carefully) what I said. I did not claim that the manuscript was never published. I said the top hit was to the unpublished version and that is indeed a fact. The published paper does not appear in the top 100 hits. I do not know why GS behaves so often in such weird ways, but it is part of the reason that  names WoS and Scopus as reliable citation indexes, but has a large paragraph of disclaimers for GS, finally calling it "a rough guide only". I checked MathSciNet and the query "Katz, Mikhail" returns http://ams.rice.edu/mathscinet/search/publications.html?pg4=AUCN&s4=katz%2C+mikhail&co4=AND&pg5=TI&s5=&co5=AND&pg6=PC&s6=&co6=AND&pg7=ALLF&s7=&co7=AND&Submit=Search&dr=all&yrop=eq&arg3=&yearRangeFirst=&yearRangeSecond=&pg8=ET&s8=All&review_format=html 18 papers, not 45. This figure basically agrees with the results from WoS I reported above. I'm willing to be shown that perhaps there's better query that returns these other publications, that maybe he publishes under different names, or something of the like. Please report the MathSciNet query you used, so that it can quickly be checked. That would really help move the debate. At this point, it still appears that the figures of 17-18 papers, h-index around 7, and total cites of around 100, are essentially correct. I'll wait to cast a !vote until the citation statistics are recognized as being firm. Thanks
