Grant Stevens (doctor)

Unclear if this doc meets the wp:bio/wp:prof notability standard. The article is also a bit too spammy. The input of other editors would be appreciated. Thanks,  brew crewer  (yada, yada) 01:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete I don't see how this biography meets any of the notability guidelines. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:04, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * uncertain 27 Peer-reviewed papers in scopus, highest counts 30, 12, 11. Possible a notable surgeon, but borderline. Many of the papers are in good journals and report very long series of cases. It is possible that he's notable in the specialty; however, most of the MD articles submitted to Wikipedia are from cosmetic and plastic surgeons; this is a specialty that depends very heavily on advertising, and therefore I tend to have a rather critical attitude towards these articles. But this is a better real publication record than most such here. DGG (talk) 05:58, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete per WP:ADVERT and, IMHO, a failure to meet WP:BIO and WP:PROF has mentioned by OP. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 09:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Dr Stevens does not meet the WP:BIO criteria. He has several publications, but he does not have significant coverage about him in any secondary source. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  08:33, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete ad. Citation for fame refers to own clinic. Kevin McCready (talk) 01:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
