 * Delete. Article is not sourced well and has a hostile seeming tone. Ducknish (talk) 21:55, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment He is (or was) a prominent cancer researcher, who seems to be retired, or close to it. He became a physician in 1948, so is probably in his late 80s or 90s. Here's a brief profile. He was Physician-in-Chief of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a professor at the Harvard Medical School. I am not in a position to judge his notability, but he was frequently quoted in the press regarding cancer research and government cancer policy 30 to 40 years ago. The current article is so bad that it ought to go unless someone is willing to do a complete rewrite.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  01:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Obvious keep I just did a complete rewrite, deleted the unverified allegations and added citations. He totally passes WP:ACADEMIC. He held a named professorship at Harvard Medical School, and he received the Lasker Award for heavens sake! --MelanieN (talk) 01:50, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * That's what I was hoping for. Rescinded by nominator -- [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ] #_ 01:55, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Your "probably notable" hunch was right. I enjoy rescuing articles (when they deserve it), but this one was particularly satisfying. --MelanieN (talk) 02:05, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
