Just seems like a dentist -- and could not find reliable citations for the journal mentioned. Frederick Ding 03:46, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. No reliable secondary sources. Conflict of interest as he seems to have created an article about himself. Unsourced personal information. CodeTheorist (talk) 22:38, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete The only claim to notability in the article is the claim that he is the founder and editor in chief of the "Journal of Clinical and Practical Oral Implantology". However, that journal does not appear to be a "major well-established academic journal" so it does not provide notability per WP:ACADEMIC. The journal was only founded in 2010 and only comes out quarterly. Google Scholar never heard of it and neither did PubMed. It doesn't even have a presence online - not even a website. Lacking notability through the journal, he appears to be a run-of-the-mill dentist; I'm sure he is very good at what he does, but he does not meet the criteria for a Wikipedia article. --MelanieN (talk) 02:45, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
