 * Weak delete keep. Full professor. 115 Medline papers, most of which appear to be him, some in well-respected journals eg Gut, Transplantation; also several reviews. Google Scholar finds one paper with >50 citations, and at least five more with >20 citations. Borderline but tipped to delete by the agenda of the creating editor.

 * Comment. Please note that we should be assuming good faith here, and not deleting any articles based on any supposed agenda by the author. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've changed my recommendation, as I was probably overly swayed by the sheer number of similar AfDs. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. The citation record probably satisfies criterion 3 of WP:PROF, and the unique approach which the subject introduced satisfies criterion 5. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It is not a sign of COI that a considerable number of full professors at columbia med school are notable. that's why they get appointed in the first place. DGG (talk) 00:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
