 * Keep In addition to having his name actually mentioned out of all the heart docs in the nation, he has written papers which are cited hundreds of time on Google Scholar. L3X1 (distænt write)  14:06, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

This is not a suitable reason for deletion. Whether you can't find any information is irrelevant, and it's clear that others have.Egaoblai (talk) 02:02, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't mention them. Rathfelder (talk) 20:45, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't have too. L3X1 (distænt write)  02:14, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any information on google about him having done anything significant enough for an article. Natureium (talk) 21:06, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete one source is a press release and the other a minor news item in a local paper, not the things notability is made of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:14, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm sure JPL already knows this so I won't ping him, but and nom, may I quote WP:NEXIST? "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article."
 * That refers to there not being sources in the article, not there not being sources online to establish notability. There are thousands of professors that have published articles indexed on google scholar. Not all of them are notable. Natureium (talk) 14:25, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Overall he has been a joint or principal author of 17papers each of which have been cited over 100 times. according to Google Scholar. Thisis sufficient to show him an authority in his subject according to WP:PROF. We usually figure that even in the well cited field of biomedicine, anyone with even 2 papers cited more than 100 times meets the requirements.The article is obviously incomplete. I can not account for how an article so radically inadequate came to be written, but there is enough information to show notability  .   DGG ( talk ) 03:54, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- per Worldcat identities, he's the co-author of two books, Reoperations in cardiac surgery and Angiocardiography in congenital heart malformations, which are somewhat widely held for such a specialty subject, by 89 and 88 libraries: . Appears to be an authority in his field. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:07, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
