 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good sized new article, written with neutral pov, within date and with strong citations, just one behind a login that I couldn't see, but it's a properly cited medical journal and in context I cannot fault that. No Copyvio detected using Earwig (it only picked out his medical titles). Nomination in date and well cited. I recommend ALT1 as it's eye catching and more interesting to the general public. Nicely written page about an interesting medical man and a fitting subject for front page. Nominator could even have (pictured) as there is a portrait photo of the subject which looks like it should have no license issue as permission has been sent awaiting review.
