Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ricardo Antonio Rosselló Nevares
Article is mostly promotional POV. Much is disingenuous, some borders on dishonesty. Examples follow. Article paints a very distinct picture of Rossello as an established researcher, but he is really a http://www.neuro.duke.edu/faculty/jarvis/personnel.html post-doc in the lab of E. Jarvis. (A post-doc position is what one normally undertakes in biomedical fields before applying for the entry-level academic position of Assistant Professor.) Article says he is a researcher with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (an extremely notable achievement, which by itself would essentially ensure notability), but this is false. The way in which Howard Hughes Medical Institute|HHMI works is a little unusual: It is only the lab head, http://www.jarvislab.net/GenInfo/Jarvis_regular_CV_2010__4_.pdf Eric Jarvis, who is the Howard Hughes Medical Institute|HHMI investigator. His staff, post-docs, and grad students are ''not'' HHMI investigators and are ''not'' entitled to use this designation. Next, the article frames the paper on Connexin 43 essentially as research that he himself led, but this is also problematic. It is easy to see from http://www.pnas.org/content/106/32/13219.abstract PNAS that the work was done in the lab of David Kohn at University of Michigan, presumably where Rossello was either a grad student or postdoc. (Kohn is listed as corresponding author, not Rossello.) Article makes something of a production that Rossello has presented work at a conference, but this routine academic activity, even for post-docs, an not in any way notable. The realistic assessment is this: (1) with regard to , Rossello is an early-in-career researcher, with 2 published papers to his credit and a WoS h-index of 2, (2) he very well could become notable in the future, but he is far from it at present, and (3) the level of puffery is concerning because is very likely to mislead those who are not familiar with the norms of biomedical research.
