Piotr Blass
(Auto)biography of a mathematician who does not, I believe, pass WP:PROF. Previous nomination last August ended in delete, roughly a dozen !votes to two, and has since been blanked by Jimbo. I would encourage you to look at his own resume [1] to come to a conclusion about his notability. Delete. bikeable (talk) 16:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
