Donald Pinkel, M.D.

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article was already speedied twice on its proper title (Donald Pinkel), but G4 doesn't apply since it now contains a source link to his employer. There are no independent reliable sources to build a biography with. (Articles can't be based solely on sources that are related to the subject because they can't reliably establish notability) Delete  - Mgm|(talk) 20:30, 14 March 2009 (UTC) Mgm|(talk) 20:30, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - If this is a reliable independent source, he easily meets notability requirements. Now that I take a second look, it appears the text was lifted from that article, but that can be fixed with editing. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  20:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly notable ; easy to find via gsearch on his name publications that'd meet WP:PROF, for example . Nom. should've searched first. Should rd to Donald Pinkel. JJL (talk) 21:32, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In the nominator's defense, it would be easy to propose deletion for an article that has already been speedied twice. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  22:37, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Snow keep and rename to Donald Pinkel, because, damn.— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  00:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note - The article is now at Donald Pinkel. I'm not sure if Donald Pinkel, M.D. should be deleted as a copyvio of this or this or if it should be left as a redirect. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  05:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
