Elliott Valenstein
At first I thought this article just needed severe NPOVing to correct rampant POVisms like "The eminent neuroscientist ... rejecting the simpleminded 'chemical imbalance' theories used by drug companies in marketing their products" and "biochemical theories are an entirely "unproven hypothesis" - and probably a false one - used to excuse the often unconscionable marketing practices of the drug industry". Then I thought to Google, and this "eminent neuroscientist" gets just 138 hits that don't loop back to Wikipedia. Delete seems more appropriate. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:42, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment He does seem to be real, but apparently not well known. I'd like it if he were notable, but I can't see that he really is. Friday 02:56, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep He's published. He teaches at an acredited university. I'd say thats notable. Hamster Sandwich 05:01, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There are a lot of accredited universities. Are all their faculty members automatically notable? -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * weak keep, it needs a rewrite as at the moment it reads like the short introduction in a booklet to acompany a conference or lecture tour. Additional evidence of notability and passing the average professor test would be nice as well. Thryduulf 11:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
