Frederick Tiesenga

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable, and promotional. He does not meet WP:PROF--his most cited paper has only 29 references, and his other publications are cited by fewer than 10 papers. His books are self-published, and not even in WorldCat. He is president of only local specialized societies.

This is obviously intended to advertise his practice, his books, and his speaking engagements.  DGG ( talk ) 22:27, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet our guidelines for articles on academics and researchers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:19, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Did not pass my source check - fails GNG. This article was conveniently created after he announced he was running for local office. So, fails politician guidelines, too. Missvain (talk) 19:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Lacking WP:RS. Fails WP:PROF, WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:N.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:31, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Advertising content can be re-written. The fact that he won Kenneth J. Douglas Award for Excellence should be considered to establish notability. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 05:37, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MILL, WP:TNT, WP:PROF, and WP:NPOL. Locally-known medical doctor who ran once for local office. Much of the bio is entirely unsourced. A major re-write would be needed even if there were significant coverage. Bearian (talk) 14:38, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete subject fails all the notability standards already brought up. I also cannot seem to find any independent coverage indicating that the Kenneth J. Douglas Award for Excellence is significant enough to indicate any sort of notability. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:34, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
