Appears to be thoroughly insignificant from the perspective of a worldwide encyclopedia. He's the head of a unit connected with the Hospital for Special Surgery; if that's the biggest thing you've done, you almost certainly don't pass the notability bar. So he appears on some webpages from the website of his employer — what a surprise! There's no evidence of in-depth coverage from reliable sources independent of him, and a couple of papers don't make him notable as an academic. 2001:18E8:2:1020:5C69:D059:29BC:F807 (talk) 16:53, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm sure he is a fine physician, but he does not meet Wikipedia's rather demanding criteria for an article at this time. Google News finds nothing so he does not pass WP:GNG. He is an assistant professor at Cornell and director of a division of a reasonably notable hospital; Google Scholar shows him as a co-author on some modestly cited papers; that's not enough to meet WP:ACADEMIC. He is young and he might become more notable in the future, but not yet. --MelanieN (talk) 17:59, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete MelanieN?! Isn't that a bit severe for lvoting? Clarityfiend (talk) 05:50, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * LOL! I suspect he meant to say "delete PER MelanieN", but I'll watch my back! --MelanieN (talk) 16:14, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
