- Hi, One of the eight academic-specific criteria is "8. The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area." In my article, I provided links to prove that this person, Sandip Sinharay, is the current chief editor of Psychometrika that is a well-established journal in this person's field. If you have any doubts, please search the journal holdings at a university of your choice and you will find the journal that has a decent impact factor. Please also do another search to verify that Sandip Sinharay is indeed the editor of the journal. I also provided links to prove that he was editor of two other journals in his field---Journal of Educational Measurement and Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics. Again, please feel free to do your own search about the importance of these journals and to verify that he was indeed an editor of these journals. Criterion number 1 is "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." and I provided the Google scholar link to prove that the person's h-index is 38 and i10 index is 113. Again, if you know an academic, please ask that person what these numbers mean and you will find out that these numbers mean that Sandip Sinharay had a significant impact in his scholarly discipline. Criterion number 2 is that "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." and I provided links to prove that Sandip Sinharay received multiple awards from a well-recognized organization (National Council on Measurement in Education) in his field. Criterion number 6 is that the person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society and Sandip Sinharay is a Distinguished Presidential Appointee at Educational Testing Service that is known all over the world. Thus, I request you to reconsider your decision after doing a little more homework on your part. While you want to be rigorous in your selection criteria, you surely want to include people who deserve to be included in Wikipedia. Regards, Seeking....

Your message indicates that the article should meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria. If you look carefully, the article meets three or four of the eight academic-specific criteria. So I request you to reconsider your decision of rejecting the article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Sandip Sinharay

A tag has been placed on Draft:Sandip Sinharay, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Question for administrator
[edit]![]() | This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
I created a draft page for Sandip Sinharay for review. The editor User4edits recommended it for speedy deletion because he thought that page was promotional. User4edits gave me the option to contest the speedy deletion and rewriting it in proper Wikipedia style. But before I could contest or rewrite, the draft got deleted (within 12 or so hours since User4edits recommended a speedy deletion). Is it possible to restore the article so that I can rewrite? Also, I find these editors to be so over-aggressive---they are strongly opinionated and do not allow any scope of a civil discussion! Thanks, --Seeking absolute truth (talk) 17:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- When an article or page is marked for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay or discussion if an administrator feels that the given criteria applies. Post-deletion you may challenge it at Deletion Review. 331dot (talk) 22:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
