Draft:Ronan Conlon

Submission declined on 24 November 2024 by Chaotic Enby (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The database entry from the Mathematics Genealogy Project isn't in-depth enough, while the article from Conlon's university isn't independent, so neither of them are good material to prove notability. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 09:44, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Comment: If independent, secondary sources can be found showing that the "BCCD Shrinker" has had a "significant impact" he may qualify for an article. Also check the linked criteria above to see if any other specific criteria can be met, or if multiple reliable secondary sources talking about him with significant coverage can be found, currently his homepage and papers aren't "independent" and the Maths Genealogy Project isn't "significant coverage" - it's very minimal.

Comment: Assistant professors (as he appears to be) usually do not pass our standards for academic notability. Exceptions arise where the subject has achieved significant attention for their research, for instance at the level of multiple international mainstream newspapers running stories on it, or winning major international prizes like the Salem Prize. I do not see evidence of this for Conlon. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I added more detail and references. BTW, The BCCD shrinker is mentioned in Ricci soliton. Given that the paper is quite recent by math standards, it also has already received a lot of citations (>20). But I'm not sure if that is worth mentioning in the article.

Ronan J. Conlon is a mathematician working on Einstein manifolds, special holonomy, PDEs on Riemannian manifolds and geometric analysis. He obtained his PhD in 2011 under the supervision of Mark Haskins at Imperial College London with the thesis On the Construction of Asymptotically Conical Calabi-Yau manifolds.^[1] Before coming to Imperial College London he was Peter Topping's first master student in 2007.

Prof. Conlon held postdoc positions at McMaster University and l’Université du Quebec à Montreal in Canada, before becoming an Assistant Professor at Florida International University.^[2] Currently, he is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at University of Texas at Dallas.^[3] He is famous amongst other things for being a co-discoverer of the BCCD shrinker^[4] in Ricci flow together with Richard Bamler, Charles Cifarelli, and Alix Deruelle. The BCCD shrinker is one of a very small number known examples of singularity models for Ricci flow in dimension four. He co-organised the conference Special Metrics in Complex Geometry that took place at UT Dallas from May 16-20, 2022.
