Article fails WP:BIO. Article was created by an WP:SPA account with no other edits other than related to columbiasurgery.org. possible copyvio http://asp.cumc.columbia.edu/facdb/profile_list.asp?uni=jjk47&DepAffil=Surgery. Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article.Hu12 (talk) 07:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Medline finds 29 papers for "JJ Kandel", some in high-profile journals eg PNAS and many more in well-respected subject-specific journals eg Cancer Res; there are also a few reviews. Google Scholar finds over 100 citations for two of her papers, both on vascular endothelial growth factor, with a further two over 50, and several over 20. Borderline, but probably meets WP:PROF for the VEGF work. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. The citations found by Espresso Addict show that she passes criteria 2-4 of WP:PROF. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:31, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep A little less notable than some of the others. But why perhaps copyvio--its a web source and we can all check--if it were it would have been speedily deleted, but its just based on it. DGG (talk) 00:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
