How is this similar in any way to previous deletions?! Have you took the pain to do any simple human (or automated) comaprison of the text? Previous versions were deleted due to similarities to text at http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/maged-n-kamel-boulos/2/663/687 - Now, with this fresh version, how do you find the current entry text similar to http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/maged-n-kamel-boulos/2/663/687 ?! They are very different from one another. I hope moderators, editors and admins in this place are objective, human (not rushing for automated deletions without careful examination - take the time to READ and COMPARE!), and above all unbiased! Thanks! --Atomscolor1 (talk) 09:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at the new article I agree that it's no longer a copyvio. Thanks for fixing that! However, I'm not completely convinced that Boulos is notable. Most of the sources currently on the article quote him talking about his work, but dont really constitute significant coverage; and I don't see any evidence of his meeting the points in WP:ACADEMIC.

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm reflexively finding a new reason to object now that the copyvio's gone: I'm happy that that's fixed, and would be happy to be proved wrong on his notability. I'm just expressing my impressions after a careful, "human" examination of the subject. Olaf Davis (talk) 12:54, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
