 * Delete This surgeon is not notable, although I wish the nominator had expanded on their reasons for saying so. Ladas was the subject of one significant item in an independent source: the Daily Mail article which is already cited. One such article is not enough. Otherwise he seems to be a competent but run-of-the-mill surgeon. The puffery in the article is uncited, and large parts of the article are cut-and-pasted from his bio page at the hospital where he practices. Google Scholar finds him as one of multiple authors on some moderately-cited papers; that's not enough to qualify per WP:ACADEMIC. --MelanieN (talk) 15:54, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Also, the article reads like a resume, and its creator has a sketchy contribution history.Gdfusion (talk) 20:51, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. h-index of 14 is not quite enough to pass WP:Prof in highly cited biomed. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:04, 22 February 2013 (UTC).
 * Delete. The article does not make a credible case for notability. Simply publishing papers is not enough, and the claims of being a noted pioneer in a particular medical procedure are not substantiated. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:24, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Main notability seems to be the introduction of a new medical technology. That seems a bit WP:1E to me. JFW &#124; T@lk  22:32, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete fails applicable notability guidelines, based on citations in the current article and my searching of PubMed. -- Scray (talk) 14:31, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΛΑΔΑΣ "Ο Ελληνας χειρουργός που σκοτώνει τους όγκους" unless sources like these in Greek are all self-published. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:24, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
