It is a hoax. I know the person who did it. This is why it's impossible to find references for it. -203.51.173.103 12:13, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rapid Delete Does indeed smell like a hoax. Only refs are from term-paper sites, which put just about anything they are sent on line.--Alicejenny 12:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've been looking for sources for this article since it was first created, and in response, the original author put up those references.  I still wasn't able to find any hint that this might have a basis in reality. —Cleared as filed. 14:11, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] :: AfD? 16:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Has all the earmarks of a hoax. A professor of science?  I agree about the only Google references being term paper sites. Durova 16:15, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete due to lack of verifiability under WP:V. A Google search shows little to verify the claims. I have conducted a search of Australian media reports for this guy over the intranet. It came up with no results despite the fact that the article claims he was a notable medical researcher who died earlier this year. If that was the case, newspapers would have written an obituary outlining his contributions to the field. None has. Capitalistroadster 23:52, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per Capitalistroadster. Cnwb 00:03, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. CSIRO doesn't even have a medical unit. Snottygobble | Talk 00:11, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I also posted a note at WikiProject Preclinical Medicine for their view. -- Ian &equiv; talk 00:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Also, consider ban against author/anon IP with a history of vandalism. Edwardian 00:36, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, unless we suddenly find out he's legit. --Roisterer 06:08, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
