Notability? The Russian empress was set on a course to improve medical care for her subjects, and was using British doctors and surgeons to help. Allan Burns was invited to assist with this programme.

I have not developed that theme in this biography. Perhaps I should?

This article needs to satisfy Wikipedia:notability (people). The claims of notability then must be backed up by references that satisfy Wikipedia:reliable sources. Thanks, Pdcook (talk) 13:54, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are the references provided not good enough? Shipsview (talk) 22:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be joint with Allan Burns (physician). However, i don't if it is useful about his notability, but the Plica of Allan Burns or Allan Burns'ligament, a component of the Saphenous opening in the Femoral triangle, is named after him.--HermesII (talk) 19:58, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
