The result was   keep, withdrawn. Although there is one negative vote besides the nominator's, I think WP:SNOW clearly applies. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep This article is about a notable individual with thousands of Google hits. It needs cleanup and a more neutral tone. But I think this article should be kept. GauravGMa (talk) 14:52, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Apparently notable, if barely, but article seems like spam. Not enough to G11, but too much to keep? Discussion needed, but I say delete.  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 14:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to meet WP:ACAD, but probably could use a rewrite for tone VASterling (talk) 14:28, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Hagiographic spam. ukexpat (talk) 14:52, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep On the one hand, I don't think we specifically need to have articles for all of those who have Ig-nobel's, but in this case, the Ig-nobel doesn't seem to be the heart of the article. When I went to the find sources scholar link, I got over 100 hits, one of which is the actual formal article on which the Ig-nobel was Awarded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naraht (talk • contribs)
 * Keep: Definitely needs improvement, but the subject seems notable. I've tagged the page with Rescue and expert-subject. -- BenTels (talk) 15:17, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Seems to pass WP:PROF. Has some coverage outside the Ig Nobel, including for being named a "Hero of Emergency Medicine". Has an H-index of around 20, according to Google Scholar. Fences  &amp;  Windows  19:16, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clinical medicine is not a high-publication, high-citation biomedical field (like say neuroscience). Nevertheless, WoS shows this person has >70 publications with an h-index of 18 and with >900 cumulative citations. This is a conclusive pass on WP:PROF #1. Article may need fixing, but it's not a candidate for deletion. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 20:45, 24 September 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep - Passes WP:PROF and WP:GNG. Needs major cleanup though.  We certainly don't need a gargantuan list of every paper the guy has ever written.    Snotty Wong   confer 23:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - easily passes the notability guidelines, per Snotty Wong. High h-index.  AfD is not for cleanup. Bearian (talk) 21:46, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn by nominator, request close as speedy keep — Per Mene, Mene, Tekel u-Pharsin and snow. Regards,  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 18:30, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
