Was an expired WP:PROD. After deletion User:Apotek31 came to my talk page and asked me to restore it. —  Aitias  // discussion 16:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep with cleanup. The subject seems notable enough (with a National Geographic article and his own book).  More references could probably be found.  The topic of PTSD seems off course, and could probably be removed as irrelevant to the topic of the article.   WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication of notability by Wikipedia standards as it lacks references, and likely a conflict of interest because of the level of detail despite no refs. National Geographic World is a kid's magazine, book appears to be self-published. Seems like a great guy, but needs more citations to reliable third-party sources.

 * Comment User:Apotek31 asked why "my page" was deleted, but article was created by User:Kcirtap33. The similarity in usernames makes me wonder if this user is inadvertently using multiple accounts? Both these editors seem connected to the silverplanet.com website: . It makes me kind of suspicious about Spam and conflict of interest, though it's possible the user simply forgot his/her original password. Would one of the users care to explain?

 * Comment To answer your question Katr67, I simply ask my collaborator Kcirtap33 to help me out uploading the article I wrote. Thank you very much for your feedback. I will upload a revised version of this article according to your comments as Dr. Curnow pioneer work in the field of veterinary science in the US definitively deserve its place in Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apotek31 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No substantial notability. This would need real sources, as Katr says above. DGG (talk) 01:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Good evidence of notability and I see more is being added. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - as prodder. But looking at the refs we have SilverPlanet, which is less than a year old, so not sure the level of notability this confers on the subject for the 2 sources using this source (two me its minimal). The fact that he has a published book, doesn't mean much if it is self published (don't know, but publisher does both). Also, no notability is conferred by the source of that publisher since its not 3rd party. And the minutes from a meeting are primary sources, thus again confer no notability. Seems like a nice guy, but my dad is too. And I'm not going to write an article on my dad if he publishes a book (unless its a NYT bestseller). Aboutmovies (talk) 11:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I'd say this is at the bare minimum for notability. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 12:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Additional references were added to the article as further proof of Gene's notability in the field of veterinary practice. Another article introducing the mobile pet clinic - a concept pioneered by Gene - is also underway Kcirtap33. —Preceding undated comment was added at 17:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC).
