- Delete. Minimal citability per GoogleScholar (there also seems to be a physisist with the same name). A number of awards from vanity outlets like the American Biographical Institute, which to me is a big red flag. I checked and the membership in the European Academy of Sciences is an ordinary paid membership, rather than elected fellowship. Does not pass WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 16:01, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. When I factor out the theoretical physicist with the same name (who clearly seems to be a different person: the research interests and academic affiliations don't match) I'm left with only papers with five or fewer citations in Google scholar, not enough to convince me of WP:PROF #1. I removed the obvious vanity awards from the article; some are left that are less clear, but not enough to convince me of WP:PROF #2. And I found nothing searching Google news, so it doesn't seem possible to give him a pass on WP:GNG grounds bypassing WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Notability. MiRroar (talk) 20:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Found similar results as David using WoS query "Author=(Awad A*) Refined by: Institutions=(JORDAN UNIV SCI & TECHNOL OR TISHREEN UNIV) Timespan=All Years. Databases=SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI": 6 papers having 7 citations collectively and h-index = 2. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 14:57, 3 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]
- Comment I believe I noticed the subject was head of some dept. at a university, was that not a WP:PROF requirement fullfilled? Correct me if I am wrong... Turqoise127 (talk) 21:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, being head of a whole university is enough for WP:PROF #6 but not head of a department. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:06, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
