Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noel B. Salazar
I'm the person who created this page (which is not about myself but about my academic supervisor). I wanted to clarify myself because some of the comments here are based on (understandable) misconceptions. The EU Marie Curie program confers many different types of grants. My supervisor won a Marie Curie International Reintegration Grant (only for Ph.D. holders). This is totally different from the more common pre-doctoral Marie Curie schemes. I'd agree, however, that winning this grant is certainly not Dr. Salazar's biggest achievement. The "postdoc" title carries different weights in different countries. In contrast with the anglosaxon system, in Belgian academia one can be in a postdoc function for 9 years (similar to the title "Assistant Professor") before becoming a fully tenured professor. Looking at the criteria outlined in , Dr. Salazar fits the criteria 4 (if needed, I can include a list of institutions across the world where we know that his writings and theoretical frameworks are being used) and 7 (Dr. Salazar is having quite an impact in the realm of tourism policy and his role as consultant, among others for UNWTO and UNESCO, only confirms this). Of course, I know the person in question and I must say that I'm duly impressed with what this scholar has already realized
