Talk:List of scientists from the Middle East

Persons temporarily removed from the list, because ...

I can not see that the article about him says that he is a scientist (and I did not see such info at wiki English).

I have removed "Tariq Aziz (1936-2015), diplomat" from the list. Sju hav (talk) 18:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

He held a bachelor of English language, from Baghdad University; other issues aside,he served as a (senior) member of parliament/the regime of Saddam Hussein, for 1983-1991: Minister for foreign affairs, 1979-2003 Vice prime minister; that makes almost 25 years service as a politician. Besides he was active as a journalist, and spent some time in jail. As I read you, it means that anyone calling him/herself a journalist can not be listed? --Eptalon (talk) 19:08, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

If there is consensus here that he was a scientist, then feel free to add him to the list. Sju hav (talk) 19:58, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

I am not particularly keen of adding him, all I said: Much like Butros Ghali, or Kofi Anan, he is one of the cases where we already have an article about the person. As I see it now, we will likely need to create articles of scientits from this region of the world; so we had better get to work... --Eptalon (talk) 20:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

en:Samira Islam, as to Mrs Bajhajiri: 39 publications, in scientific journals? - not notable? I don't konw you background, but I don't think getting published in journals such as The Lancet is easy.. (see: here). These people might not have an article on SEWP yet, but deducting from there they are not notable or not a scientist is clearly wrong.--Eptalon (talk) 20:17, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

For your info en:The_Lancet is one of the oldest medical journals. It is number two by impact factor, after en:The New England Journal of Medicine, the British Medical journal is number 4 or so. Anyway: getting published in this journal is a sign of notability. --Eptalon (talk) 20:28, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

• "Samira Islam, Pharmacology"
• "Samira Islam - the first person from Saudi Arabia to become a full professor in pharmacology""
  

"Pharmacology" did not show notability.
I have now written about her being the first ... from Saudi-Arabia. That text is now part of the "... from the Middle East" article.
Now notability is shown. Sju hav (talk) 12:42, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

@Eptalon - The article does not show notability, in my view. Please feel free to add (in this article, and/or the article about her) that she has written one or more articles for the Lancet.

From time to time, articles get deleted, because they do not tell about what is notable, (and any notability remains "hidden in [[references/sources").

Not sure if en-wiki has ever deleted an article about a person who had one (or more) articles accepted by the Lancet.

In some circumstances, simple-wiki might consider to delete articles about a person who has written (at least one article) for the Lancet.

Not sure what those circumstances might be. Sju hav (talk) 13:14, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Notability is not: having a job and "having research centered" on something

"... is a ... chemist. She is a medical scientist and educator presently working as a professor of clinical biochemistry and clinical nutrition at the faculty of medicine at ... University ... . Her research centers on diet, lifestyle and chronic diseases."

Please move the current article from main space to user space; or ask for the article to be deleted (if anyone agrees that notability is not showing).

The latest article version that I have seen, is [1]. Sju hav (talk) 12:35, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
