Donald L. Trump

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Claim to notability is based on sharing the same name as the president of the United States. If not for his name, he would have zero press coverage. Rusf10 (talk) 02:35, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Interesting, but trivial. Not a valid claim to notability. I believe the relevant guideline is WP:BLP1E. – Laundry Pizza 03  ( d c&#x0304; ) 02:58, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Strong keep I usually don't vote in AFDs for articles I created myself, but this one is so absurdly off-base I felt compelled to do so. The nominator's claim is utterly false: much, if not most, of Dr. Trump's claim to notability is wholly independent of sharing a name with the president of the United States. His h-index, for instance, is very high (>50), as a Google Scholar search demonstrates, showing that he passes WP:PROF easily. Moreover, he passes WP:PROF because he was formerly the director of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute for over a decade. His membership in the American Association for the Advancement of Science provides evidence that he satisfies yet another of WP:PROF's criteria (namely, C3).

 * Keep per h-index, directorship and AAAS membership. ー「宜しく 」 クロノ  カム  08:51, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, he's notable in his own right, and was so long before he had emphasize his middle name quite so forcefully. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:58, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep As the article makes clear, his notability is on account of his work in the field of oncology. The fact that he also happens to have the same name as the current president of the United States is just a coincidence. --Katolophyromai (talk) 12:24, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Clearly satisfied as already mentioned under WP:Prof. Concerned by a lack of WP:BEFORE - suspect a look at the sources, saw the multiple name refs (which, stylistically, would be nice to see reduced) and assumed that was all the justification present. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:15, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Nom is wrong as the claim to notability is not based on sharing the same name, a quick google search reveals plenty of coverage independent of the name similarity, which does show a concern for lack of WP:BEFORE. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 00:44, 1 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep A significant coverage about the subject exists and the article is well sourced. Shellwood (talk) 00:54, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
