This seems to have been deliberately defaced. Changing the words “as he is a bangaladesh” to “as he is a sabra”. And aftab instead of Haifa — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.173.110.0 (talk) 08:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedly delete[edit]

This article MAY fail notability, and could use a good clean up, but is hardly a candidate for speedy deletion. His CV at Haifa University suggests that he would be notable as well. Please help edit this into something more appropriate for WikipediaT L Miles (talk) 00:32, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't read either Hebrew or Arabic, and I don't have access to most of his works (little is on JSTOR, there's a number of reviews of his works on the Cambridge and other online journal systems, so someone should look at these: I can't from here).

He may meet Wikipedia:Notability_(academics), but I can't say. He has many articles in prominent peer reviewed journals, books which are both monographs and syntheses (the later, if influential, I'd think would make him notable). The sheer numbers don't make him notable according to Wikipedia, but someone in the field would know better if these meet the Wikipedia standard of "has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources". That a google scholar search shows lots of academic works citing and discussing his work suggests his corpus is notable. I don't know the field, so I can't say. Best of luck.

Cleanup[edit]

I'm going to comment out most of the existing text: it seems that may be referenced, but is done so in such a style as to require much work. I would suggest that bits should be carefully edited and referenced before being re-introduced out of the comment tags. Note that as a living person, he also requires careful adherence to the Biographies of Living People WP:BLP. Given that, I don't see anything controversial at first blush: just too much unreferenced and laudatory content. T L Miles (talk) 00:41, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ick, that's badly written: that the writer keeps talking about writing this for wikipedia suggests it's not copyvio, just written as a laudatory essay. There may be some of the commented out text that is useful (there are some web references and citations embeded in the prose), but most of it should go. As above, this is not my area or skill set, so best of luck. I thisn waht's not commented out is referenced and uncontroversial at this point. T L Miles (talk) 02:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
