Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Axel Schumacher
A good scientist but still a fairly junior one. PhD 2002, was a postdoc until 2004 according to the CV linked above. I was able to verify the info re the NSARD Young Investigator award which he did receive in 2004http://www.narsad.org/research/grantee_lists/bios/yi2004schumacher.htmlhttp://www.narsad.org/research/grantee_lists/young/2004.html. However, this a junior scientist award which does not yet show academic notability. I was unable to verify the Michael Smith Award mentioned in the article. This does appear to be a prestigious award given by NSERC in Canada for public promotion of science. The current list of recepientshttp://www.nserc.gc.ca/award_e.asp?nav=smith&lbi=current and the list of past winnershttp://www.nserc.gc.ca/award_e.asp?nav=smith&lbi=past(which I checked year by year) do not contain his name. Unless I missed something or there is another Michael Smith Award, this award claim does not check out. The record of citation of his work in googleScholar is OKhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22Axel%20Schumacher%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ws but not yet in the notable range. H-index is about 7. Does not pass  for the moment
