The result was   delete, without prejudice against a rewrite that discusses this person's work in detail with multiple independent reliable sources, and does not give undue weight to alleged impropriety.

Non-notable but for one minor (in the scheme of things) event. Should be deleted per WP:BLP1E. ukexpat (talk) 18:08, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. A pre-eminent case of conflict of interest in medicine. Also a very important pioneer in treatment of carotid artery disease. ROxBo (talk) 14:06, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, seems to me to be a WP:BLP1E case; and most of the article concentrates on one (alleged) impropriety. Happy to be corrected if evidence can be presented that Dr Yadav is widely known and written about within his field though.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:56, 11 September 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep. Not a BLP1E case. Yadav was widely quoted in the press about stroke and cardiology before this conflict of interest was revealed, and easily passes WP:PROF - an article in NEJM on which he was first author in 2004 has got over 1000 cites in Google Scholar.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep He is a prolific publisher with several notable publications- including the seminal and widely debated SAPPHIRE trial. He has become an icon for conflict of interest in medicine, which is why I included this article. Stents have been a very controversial therapy in medicine and he is most certainly at the heart of the matter. Chicagolive (talk) 01:56, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Looks to me like a clear case of WP:BLP1E. He has not been "widely quoted" as claimed. Seems rather trivial to me. ƒ(Δ)² 09:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
