 * Keep, the scholar and book searches make a good case for notability, and there are news sources as well. Add the fact that he was head of pathology at Yale -- and I think we can conclude that expansion is the right choice here rather than deletion.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 19:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:Prof with GS h index of 26. Xxanthippe (talk) 12:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep I have added information and references to the article. He held an endowed professorship at Yale as well as being chairman of a department for 20 years. --MelanieN (talk) 15:28, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I wish I could find more about him; he lived and died in the pre-internet era so a lot of biographical detail is lacking. I was unable to find where or when he was born, or where he went to college or medical school. Also, he became notable in the late 1950s as a very vocal skeptic about the connection between tobacco use and lung cancer, but all the references are behind pay walls so I couldn't put it in the article. Anybody who enjoys this kind of research, please be my guest! --MelanieN (talk) 00:35, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Later: Found the tobacco skepticism but still missing the basic biographical data. --MelanieN (talk) 14:05, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
