Al Brooks MD

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Notability is not established.
 * Delete I can't see any particular notability here. "Reading Price Charts Bar By Bar: The Technical Analysis of Price Action for the Serious Trader" at a list price of US$75.00 isn't going to be a best-seller. Ref 4 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez takes us (OK, me at least) to the front page of PubMed from where we are supposed to find things for ourselves. Too hungry (once again, me). Many people publish medical things. Not all are notable. There may be notability in Brooks's career. I can't see it as the article stands. Peridon (talk) 20:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:06, 14 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak delete - He's published a book and been in a few webinars. Given his common name, it's difficult to find references about him via Google and ISI searches. As it stands, I don't see notability demonstrated per WP:CREATIVE, WP:ACADEMIC or WP:BIO. Perhaps if someone finds significant coverage in reliable sources or evidence he passes CREATIVE or PROF, I could change my mind. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 14:30, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete He's written a book; but I couldn't find any commentary or review or any other reliable sourcing ABOUT the book, thus fails WP:Author. Google News finds exactly one hit, an article he wrote for Futures magazine. --MelanieN (talk) 03:19, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Whether keep or delete, the article should be moved to some other title such as "Al Brooks (author)" (Al Brooks, without the MD, is how he is listed on the book cover ) or "Albert Leveille Brooks" (which is how he holds his medical license ) or something else without the "MD". Titles like MD, PhD, etc are never supposed to be part of the article title, and in any case his medical degree seems to be irrelevant to any notability he might have. Note that Al Brooks already exists, as a redirect to Albert Brooks, an actor. --MelanieN (talk) 02:35, 17 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete As far as sources go, it cites the a book listing, a webinar that is scheduled to happen next month, and some discussion from an non-notable internet forum. Can't find anything in the references that point to notability. 67.204.10.250 (talk) 19:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Is there a reason this debate is still open? It was initiated 10 days ago and I don't see a relist notice. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 20:03, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: It wasn't listed properly. Today should be the last day. 67.204.10.250 (talk) 00:17, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
