I placed a PROD (now removed) on this article because there is not a clear claim of notability and a lack of third party sources. The seemingly good sources, like Bloomberg Businessweek, are actually just directory entries. There's potential notability here, because of his writings and patent, but to confirm that notability, we need somebody writing about him, not just with him. Rob (talk) 17:25, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG (lack of independent sources) and WP:ACADEMIC (although he has written journal articles, they are not highly cited). I'm sure he is a good doctor and a worthy citizen, but there is nothing notable (as Wikipedia defines it) about him, his activities, or his career. Bloomberg and US News listings are self-written, not independent. (I don't think I have ever seen a doctor list himself at Bloomberg before! This person, or someone on his behalf, is really promoting. But this is an international encyclopedia, and subjects have to meet certain criteria to have an article here. This subject does not.) --MelanieN (talk) 19:17, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not pass WP:Prof or WP:GNG yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:45, 30 May 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete. WP:TOOSOON. As an academic associated with a top medical school I'd expect him to eventually become sufficiently notable but the citation record doesn't show it yet, and what we have now reads more like a cv than an encyclopedia article. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:43, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
