This assistant professor has an h-index in the single digits. His other claim to notability, being the CEO of Afranet, might be enough, but not in my opinion. I'll be nominating the company article too, since its claim to notability seems rather weak to me. Both articles were written by the same user, doubtlessly someone with a COI.

• Delete - not a full professor, no major awards, no evidence of books edited or written, not a department chair, etc., thus fails WP:PROF. As stated elsewhere, h-index does little for me. Bearian (talk) 19:32, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep What is "seems" to Abductive isn't in the list of reasons for deletion, neither is COI (please feel free to read about COI and deletion, Abductive), until a reason for deletion is given, CEO of Afranet fine, keep. --IP69.226.103.13 (talk) 08:18, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a puff-page. Article makes much out of his publications ("has published more than 10 academic papers", "has about 100 articles in the media and has held dozens of conferences and seminars", etc.) and then even goes on to list the numbers of claimed citations for these. Yet, WoS shows 5 articles, only 2 of which he's lead author on, for an over h-index of only 2. This asst professor's article falls squarely into the "too soon" bin. I also can't see how merely being the head of an ISP in Iran confers notability. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]
• Delete, searches confirm that there is nothing here close to WP:PROF. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 19:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for reasons given above. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]
