Marcello Minenna: It's possible more and better sources exist in Italian, but considering the subject's article was deleted from itwiki, that seems unlikely.

Hi @ HJ Mitchell , I hope I can give you a few insights on who is Marcello Minenna and his career.  Minenna is a renowned economist, author of 100+ papers, whose contributions in this field were quoted by many scholars and academics, both Italian and international.  He is also quoted within en wikipedia's pages.  He is top-ranked on SSRN www.ssrn.com and he is quoted in The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/search? query=%22Marcello%2BMinenna%22 , Jstor https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch? Query=%22marcello+minenna%22 etc.  Furthermore, Minenna writes regularly as a Sunday columnist on the first page of Il Sole 24 Ore https://argomenti.ilsole24ore.com/marcello-minenna .  He contributes as well as a columnist on the Wall Street Journal https://www.wsj.com/articles/behind-the-brussels-rome-dispute-1540335781 , The Financial Times https://www.ft.com/stream/b070a237-36a9-33bb-8bbd-171d851b45b0 OMFIF https://www.omfif.org/2018/07/finding-solutions-to-target-2-dilemma/ , and Social Europe https://www.socialeurope.eu/author/marcello-minenna .  Therefore, while I certainly agree that the page must be improved, I believe that this article must not be deleted.

The same paragraph here was subject to POV and vandalism.  Btw the same day of the deletion an article in an Italian newspaper was published [6] that states that Minenna was "kicked off" by Wikipedia.  It is clear that WP kicks off nobody.  My intention is to rewrite Minenna's page shortly.  In fact, according to Italian guidelines, notability derives for example directly from his regular activity as columnist on the front page of the main Italian economic newspaper.  The page had been on itwiki for many years (here since 2011).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michelino12 ( talk • contribs ) 16:47, 18 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Michelino12 I agree, this article should not be deleted.  I have noticed, though, that many of the links aren't working.  I'll try my best to provide the correct links.

The subject of the article does not appear to meet the criteria of WP:PROFESSOR or WP:AUTHOR .  There does not appear to be any substantive coverage of the subject in RS.  Thenightaway ( talk ) 17:12, 21 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Thenightaway I have created the page at the end of 2011.  Let me firstly anticipate that Minenna has definitely an encyclopedic profile according to wikipedias' guidelines.  WP:AUTHOR requirements are satisfied since he writes regularly on IlSole24ore on the first page and on Financial Times .  WP:PROFESSOR also since his reseraches are largely cited and also recalled here on several WP pages.  It is not a case that the article has been on WP since 2011 until now.  Unfortunately by looking at the modifications overtime I realised that the page has been vandalised and ruined in several aspects.  There are several unregistered users that damage the discussions and the article.  I will try to improve it, but please do NOT DELETE the page.

I heard yesterday Prof. Minenna at the Economy Festival of Trento (see https://www.festivaleconomia.it/it/relatore/marcello-minenna ).  He offered an interesting speech in a roundtable on Real Economy and Banking crisis.  Last year again at the festival he was a distinguished speaker too (see https://www.festivaleconomia.it/sites/default/files/2022-06/_Programma_FdE.pdf ) in a round table with Jean-Claude Trichet on central banking policy.  Definitely his wiki page and annexed discussions have been subject to vandalism unfortunately and not well maintained.  I will try to help.

Anemic citation record does not rise to the level of WP:PROF notability.  None of the accomplishments touted in such extravagent detail in the article look particularly noteworthy.  And we have no sources that would pass WP:GNG or verify those accomplishments: nothing that is in-depth, reliably published, and independent of the subject.  The parade of single-purpose accounts on view in this AfD (one of whom claims to be the same as long-inactive SPA Olive75 ( talk · contribs ), who created the article) and the parade of even more SPAs on view in the article history also does not make a convincing case for notability (somewhat the opposite).  — David Eppstein ( talk ) 06:18, 29 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .
