Draft:Simone Borghesi

  • Comment: There isn't a clear pathway to the criteria in WP:NACADEMIC here. The h-index is referenced, but at 32 it's below the typical range and suggests WP:TOOSOON. Accepting that in this disciple, h-index is likely to be on the lower side. The other criteria does not appear as a strong pass either, and there is a high chance that this draft would hit problems with New Page Patrol and / or Articles for Deletion. Most professors are not eligible under NACADEMIC.
    Tone is also very promotion and should be dialed back. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:25, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
