Draft:Samuel Charap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: This is written in resume-style, with too much promotional material and not enough secondary sourcing. What I see as reliable secondary material is one article in the Kyiv Post, and one book review. If the focus were shifted toward WP:NPROF and there were more reviews on the academic work, maybe.
