No evidence of any notability. Reads more like an advertisement. All the refs are his own published works. Nothing here suggests any notability.  Velella  Velella Talk   09:48, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The article is written in a way which looks promotional. It appears to be a direct translation from an Italian wikipedia article where it is also the subject of an Articles for Deletion discussion. Although this person has several publications to his name, I can't see that he passes WP:ACADEMIC or WP:GNG. I had a look for independent coverage in reliable English-language sources but couldn't find anything. Notability hasn't been established. Drchriswilliams (talk) 11:34, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; appears to be a direct translation of its Italian counterpart, which is itself being discussed for deletion. Fails WP:PROF quite clearly (a hadful of citations, no important posts, etc.), not to mention WP:GNG. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 02:18, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
