Ekinhan Erişkin: I was going to draftify it, but that's already been tried.  He doesn't meet any criterion of WP:NPROF that | can see.  His h -index is 8 according to Scholar or 5 on Scopus .

Doesn't pass GNG, and I don't see any NPROF criteria being satisfied here.  -- Mvqr ( talk ) 12:37, 22 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . Good to know that being an assistant prof is significant 😁; my take was that he didn't meet WP:NPROF Mason ( talk ) 12:58, 22 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Smasongarrison , speedy criterion A7 is for topics with no "credible claim of significance". Specifically, it " does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source ". There is an abyssal difference between that very low threshold, which this person does I believe pass as a university professor, and the stringent requirements of WP:NPROF – which in my opinion he does not come close to meeting.

I saw this article on a list of requested biographical articles, i don’t see how out of the sudden it lost its notability. V.B.Speranza ( talk ) 16:13, 22 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Being on a list of requested articles does not provide any evidence that its subject is notable. It means only that someone (in many cases the subject) has added the name to the list. — David Eppstein ( talk ) 12:38, 23 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Indeed, this name was added by an editor with the username "Ekinhaneriskin" .

Appears to be on a good career track but his citation counts do not yet rise to the level of WP:PROF#C1 notability, and there seems to be nothing else to go on instead of that. Assistant professors are rarely notable and I don't see any evidence that he might be an exception to that general pattern. — David Eppstein ( talk ) 12:41, 23 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] delete clearly WP:TOOEARLY as an assistant prof with a decent but not overwhelming citation count per GS . Does not pass WP:NPROF as of yet. -- hroest 18:28, 25 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete No case for academic wiki-notability as yet.  XOR'easter ( talk ) 17:08, 28 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment After  This page was draftified by the creator in the course of the AfD discussion; I came across it while WP:R2 'ing it.  Per WP:AFDTODRAFT , this is not prohibited, but is generally advised against.  Having said that, with teh draftification by the author of the article, this seems to be tantamount to a WP:G7 with it seeming like the author wants to improve in draftspace.  I am unsure if said action necessitates the close of this AfD as the proper venue would now be MfD, or if the discussion can continue as to whether or not the draft can be deleted.
