I did my best to clean the article up but once I removed the celebrity gossip cited to the Daily Mail, the award mill and an LA Times paid post I found all that remained was PR interview stuff. He obviously markets himself well and provides many interviews but there is nothing written about him. There was a claim in the original article that he is Fellow of the American College of Surgeons but it was not supported by the source. Based on that he does not meet General Notability Guidelines or WP:ANYBIO. Jbh Talk  22:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - he is the subject of a few articles... really needs more RS to establish wp:not. Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:58, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Thank you JBH for doing a great job in editing the article. Since you removed well sourced links I myself think that the notability was weekend. I added references from Daily Mail and magazines and tried my best to keep it neutral as suggested by you. I think after reading WP:GNG that he meets this criteria.

 * As I mentioned when I initially removed them, the Daily Mail is not an acceptable source for statements about living people. I have removed those sources both for that reason and because the articles are discussing the medical treatment of names third parties. Please read WP:BLP and WP:DAILYMAIL. Thank you.

 * Delete promotional article for someone in an overly promotional field.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:42, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Dr. John Layke deserves credit for his many achievements.  I was trying to add more references on him and I got accused by JBH of getting paid to do so.  Maybe if you let us add relevant information about Dr. Layke and stop deleting it, it would not be considered weak at all.

 * Keep This makes me really mad. I was trying to write an essay for my class. But when i came back to get more information it had all been deleted. thanks a lot your doing a great job.--Defterlamb63 (talk) 21:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)--Defterlamb63 (talk) 21:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC) — Defterlamb63 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete. I don't think the coverage in independent sources is significant enough to meet WP:BIO.  Sources are non-independent, or are directory listings, or are non-substantial and/or niche publications.  Peacock (talk) 23:09, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I think it would be a shame to delete this page. Dr. Layke has achieved many accomplishments.  Because so many things were deleted, it is a little weak, however if we all work together, I am sure we can make this page great!
