A Mathematician. Received PhD in 2006. Is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota. Google scholar comes up with 14 publications (minus the duplicates). Fails WP:PROF. Note: The article has his last name spelled wrong. Last name should be aKHmedov. Bgwhite (talk) 08:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. I was in the middle of writing an almost identical Afd for Akhmedov when Bgwhite preempted me. GcSwRhIc (talk) 08:49, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. GS h-index of 8. Too early. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:32, 19 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. A recently appointed Assistant Professor, was a postdoc until 2009, does not pass WP:PROF for now. Off to a strong start, as already has two papers in Inventiones Mathematicae (which is one of the most prestigious math journals), so may well become notable in several years - but not yet.

Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:50, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Premature, but probably meriting sometime in the future. Agricola44 (talk) 15:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Keep. He has an Erdos number of 4. Voyager640 (talk) 00:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- To quote from WP:PROF: "Having a small collaboration distance from a famous or notable academic (e.g. having a small Erdos number) is not, in and of itself, indicative of satisfying Criterion 1". This is a general consequence of the WP:NOTINHERITED principle. Plus Erdos number 4 is actually pretty large (I did a random check of a few people in my math department and everybody I looked at had Erdos number 4 or smaller; my own is 3 - it really does not mean anything).

I second the above. I have an Erdos number of 4 and I'm a nobody. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:17, 21 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Erdos number is used in determining whether an integer's mathematical properties are interesting or not; see WP:1729. Voyager640 (talk) 13:20, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
