Associate professor, article sourced in the main to papers he contributed to. Other than perfectly sound work as an associate professor, there is no evidence of notability. Features the immortal edit summary, "This is my page and I want this statement to be comprehensive." Fails WP:GNG; WP:NACADEMIC. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:01, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Article is a CV, and nothing in it comes to level of notability. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 13:32, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your comment and I am happy to improve the page. I published more than 200 peer reviewed manuscripts, more than 30 books, I am best selling author and received large number of awards for my work. My books received high reviews in some medical journals. I hope you can give me some guidance on how to improve the page rather than deleting it. Thank you 192.250.20.4 (talk) 16:23, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. There look to be 3 authored books there, which should be checked for reviews. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:17, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't find anything in my usual JSTOR and Google Scholar review searches. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:21, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I authored several books and all of them ranked high in the field of pain management. My books became the curriculum for education in many prestigious programs. Happy to improve the page with your guidance to meet this criteria 192.250.20.4 (talk) 16:24, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello Dr Abd-Elsayed -- Thanks for participating here. The standard for inclusion of researchers in the medical field under WP:PROF #1 is extremely high; normally we require multiple research (not review) papers with >100 citations (in Google Scholar). The other route is under WP:AUTHOR, which is usually fulfilled with two or more authored books with multiple full book reviews (at least 4 and preferably more), not all from the same source. If you can list a number of book reviews here that would be very helpful. David Eppstein above has already performed a search above and not found anything.

 * Thanks for including me in the discussion.
 * I have articles with more than 100 citations as:
 * The changing patterns of bladder cancer in Egypt over the past 26 years
 * Role of Intraoperative and Postoperative Blood Glucose Concentrations in Predicting Outcomes after Cardiac Surgery
 * I had books reviews but I did not keep track of them
 * I will appreciate the opportunity if I can send you my CV because it is not about my research only. I serve in very high profile leadership positions in academic institute, national societies and I received very prestigious awards (for example I am a fellow of the American Board of Anesthesiology). I agree with you that the page needs good editing to reflect my career and my strength points. 172.98.108.248 (talk) 19:10, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you upload a CV at your academic profile at University of Wisconsin–Madison? In the past we've considered CVs that are hosted by reputable universities to be acceptable sources. Looking at the profile here, the other possible WP:PROF angle would be editor-in-chief positions on major academic journals. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:32, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you
 * I will explore the possibility of uploading my CV to my University profile but please give me sometime to explore and I hope this will be achievable.
 * This is a link to my current profile:https://anesthesia.wisc.edu/research/researchers/abd-elsayed-laboratory/abd-elsayed-laboratory-publications/
 * I serve as an editor in chief for Pain Medicine Case Reports which is a journal of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians.
 * I also serve as a section editor for Journal of Pain Research, Pain Physician, Current Pain and Headache Reports. Associate editor for Pain Practice and Inforgaphics editor for Pain Practice. I also serve on the editorial board of several high impact journals including Neuromodulation. 172.98.108.248 (talk) 01:34, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete: Does not appear to meet WP:PROF. Gusfriend (talk) 08:33, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * With all my respect, I read all the criteria and I fit all of them. Happy to add to the page to make this notable.
 * My research is in high impact journals and used as guidelines for care in many places
 * I described new novel procedures
 * I hold high academic leadership positions
 * I served on my state medical board.
 * I would be happy to share more information if needed but truly my work fits all the criteria and happy to add more to the page. 192.250.20.4 (talk) 16:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
