Fernando Flores Morador[edit]

Non-notable person. Article appears to have been copied and pasted from another source, probably external. Relevant Google hits are few. The article's main purpose seems to be to promote Morador. Only ref given (aside from a link to a Spanish Wikipedia article) is just the text of his writings. No evidence of notability at all.

• Comment. See this Google Scholar search. --Eastmain (talk) 04:27, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this is pretty much the same material referenced in the "full text" link currently in the article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP! He has a wikipedia on the spanish version of wikipedia hereY5nthon5a (talk) 04:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: That means absolutely nothing. It's merely the same article in Spanish, as best as I can tell with my limited vocabulario en Español. It suffers the same flaws in regard to references, too. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I don't agree. The article is not the same that the spanish one, it is a good presentation in English of his work. I agree that the more natural Wikipedia pages for Flores Morador would be the Spanish and the Swedish, but considering the role of the English as a global language I think Wikipedia should keep the article in English. - Miguelitovejby 16:22, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete - I don't speak spanish or anything but, from the contents of the article the subject seems to fail the our criteria for inclusion. Simply having an article on a "foreign" language wiki doesn't automatically make someone notable enough for inclusion in this one. Article desperately needs reliable 3rd party sources to even begin to meet the criteria (to my knowledge both the links within the article fail this).

• Weak keep I cannot really evaluate this properly--there are a great many books--I am prepared to assume probable notability on their basis, but I do not see how to tell if they are actually important.DGG (talk) 23:05, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - unless sources show otherwise, seems to be a non-notable acedemic. Publications seem to be mostly papers.Yobmod (talk) 11:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - the google scholar results appear to be mostly papers he has written, with the exception of a few trivial mentions. PhilKnight (talk) 11:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, unless some new information is brought to light to indicate academic notability. As noted above, a GoogleScholar searche produce very little and so does GoogleBooks[1]. I did a WorldCat search for his works as well[2]. He has 11 books which looks impressive from first glance. However, none of them, with one possible exception are widely held be other libraries. Three of the books are in Swedish so perhaps it is not surprising that they are not held by libraries outside of Sweden, where his home university is. but the rest are in Spanish or English and the results there are basically the same: [3],[4],[5],[6],[7]. The only exception is this book[8], listed as being held by 21 libraries in North America. That is OK but still a fairly small number. Overall, I do not see an evidence of having made substantial impact in his discipline, at least not yet. I would say that, based on the data available, he does not pass WP:PROF for now.
