I tried to clean this up, but I found it impossible. It's a highly promotional bio, apparently an autobio, for a surgeon also interested in  antiquities. He seems notable in neither field. The claims for medical firsts are exceptional claims, which would require excellent secondary sources. but there are no MEDREF compliant sources for any of them. The other medical claims do not seem significant. As for his books on antiquities, it unfortunately seems they are mostly self-published, by a museum he personally founded. (I cannot track down the publisher of the others) In terms of WP:PROF, Google Scholar shows no significant citations. (We might also consider deleting  Museum of Arts and Sciences of Epirus, but that should be a separate discussion )  DGG ( talk ) 01:26, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
