Subject doesn't seem to be especially noteworthy or well known in his field. Seems to fail the WP:BIO and Notability (academics) - Off2riorob (talk) 11:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC) Off2riorob (talk) 11:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - there is some indication that this has been the subject of a PR effort at one time; but there is no evidence of notability here, nor any assertion of it. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:01, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete unless better info is included. Perhaps Dr. Petersen has won some awards or been named head of some notable medical associations? Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:17, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete He has worked at some notable institutions in the past, but not in a major/notable role. Publications are minimal per PubMed. Nothing much found at Google News. If we judged doctors as we do sports figures he would be a keeper, but sadly, Wikipedia has much higher standards for doctors and academics. --MelanieN (talk) 18:35, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and mark it as a stub. He has won a "Forty Under 40" award and has a mention at http://www.animalaches.com/hospitals.html. He really seems notable but just doesn't have the mainstream sources right now. (Yes, I changed my mind.) Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC) He has been honored in the U.S. Virgin Islands. http://stthomassource.com/content/news/local-news/2003/09/30/hope-high-cancer-center-groundbreaking-1 GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:57, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not clearly established. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:59, 11 September 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete in the absence of evidence that he passes either WP:PROF or WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
