Paid for spammy article. Top doctors is a PR organization which appears to be including Wikipedia articles in their packages.

 * Delete per WP:TNT. I think he passes WP:PROF for having highly-cited publications (search Google scholar for author:jg-blaivas) but the current article is highly promotional and horribly sourced (filled with many sources, all bad). I could change my mind if someone is willing to take the effort to severely trim and properly source this. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:10, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for the same reasons as David. --Quadraxis (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. I failed to find any references from seconday reliable sources to establish this person's notability.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   17:43, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
