Gregory Ciottone

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article created and primarily edited by WP:SPA. Based largely on self-published works, it fails notability as to academics in that reliable, third party sources are few. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 17:18, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

The article does not fail notability as to academics. According to the criteria of notability as to academics, only one of the nine listed criteria must be met. Dr. Ciottone meets at least three, all of which are supported by reliable third party sources:

1) The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources:

This has been met by his textbook, also named in his honor, being cited as "the leading textbook in Disaster Medicine" by the prestigious journal Annals of Emergency Medicine, as well as his over 250 citations on google scholar

2)The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions:

His textbook being named "the leading textbook in Disaster Medicine" affects every academic medical institution in the world.

3) The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity: By being named a "medical expert" by CNN and appearing on a number of their national broadcasts, Dr. Ciottone has clearly had a substantial impact outside academia in his academic capacity.

 * Delete The sources do not show coverage that rises to the level of GNG. One text book and a few citations are not enough to pass any academic criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:43, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. SPA-created a few years back and full of WP:OR. EM is not an especially highly-cited branch of medicine, but even so, citations are pretty low for someone to be considered notable in this field. Agricola44 (talk) 16:15, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
