Article written by now banned promotional sockpuppet. No notability--the statement that he is a leading expert comes only from the blurb for his own book. Other references are press releases, or  local publicity  DGG ( talk ) 08:16, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. A GS h-index of around 10 in this highly cited field does not give a pass of WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:01, 10 March 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete. Sources likewise not impressive. Agricola44 (talk) 15:43, 12 March 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete. The sources look like local news articles and other similar-quality publications that do not convince me of a pass of WP:GNG. And comparing his cites (100, 61, 51, etc on Google scholar) to the top-cited papers in stem cell transplant research (1115, 713, etc) makes the claim in the article that he's a leading expert in this area seem overblown. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:12, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
