 * Delete Article does not assert any notability. All it says is that he was an expert witness is a few court cases and wrote a few articles in scholarly publications. Borock (talk) 15:39, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I looked over the references, and looks like Borock is right. If we set the standard for notability to include this guy, we've have to include all lawyers, physicians, scientists... who have ever been quoted in the lay press. That is setting the bar for notability too low IMO. BakerStMD T&#124;C 22:46, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete No coverage found ABOUT him, just a quote here or there. Nothing found at Google Scholar. --MelanieN (talk) 02:16, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
