 * Weak keep. Full professor. Over 40 Medline papers for "DL Fowler", mainly seem to be this one, predominantly in well-respected subject-specific journals. Google Scholar finds one paper with >100 citations, and four more with over 20. His Columbia CV claims various laparoscopic firsts, -- while not independent, this seems a reasonably reliable source. Borderline but probably meets WP:PROF for his laparoscopic innovations. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Good citation record and significant firsts satisfy WP:PROF. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:38, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep CVs are accepted for bio details, and Medline is an independent source for publications and citations. Its the peer-reviewers who certify the notability independently of what those connected to the subject may say.DGG (talk) 00:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No encyclopedic content. --Funper (talk) 22:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
