Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Parimelazhagan Thangaraj
So, this was a really tough citation metrics project: most of the Indian coauthors (and the subject himself) are indexed under multiple identities on Scopus, including inverted name order (e.g. "Parimelazhagan Thangaraj" also appears under "Thangaraj Parimelazhagan"), and Scopus has an even worse time with his Brazilian coauthors (who have names like "Eloísa Portugal Barros Silva Soares de Souza, where "Eloísa" + any combination of the last four names can show up as a separate entry), so I've been going through and manually merging these people and recalculating ''h''-indices. After doing this for his first 40 coauthors (with ≥5 pubs), Dr. Thangaraj/Parimelazhagan is looking around average (and well above the median) for his field, but I still have another 70 people to address so this will likely change. All this is just to say that his GS citations may be similarly affected. On the other hand, he (and his coauthors) publish a lot in what may be  journals, which shouldn't count towards notability, so this will probably be a very messy AfD overall
