John Paul (scientist)

 * – ( View AfD| View log | edits since nomination)

Unnotable individual fails to satisfy the general notability guidelines see WP:SIGCOV. Most of the existing sources are unreliable and not independent of the subject. The individual also has no significant coverage. N niyaz (talk) 14:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep – After being appointed to a personal chair, Paul was appointed director of a cancer institute and then during his tenure the research capability was transformed with the Beatson becoming an internationally acclaimed organisation. He was awarded an honorary Dsc. The obituary published in the Independent included that "During his most productive years his publications were among the 1,000 most-cited scientific papers in the world". Clearly meets WP:PROF and WP:GNG. Drchriswilliams (talk) 12:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep -- a hint: when someone gets an obituary in the top journal of their field, they have made a significant impact on their field. Also with an obituary in The Independent, etc. speedy keep. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 19:44, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the above he passes WP:AUTHOR through multiple published reviews of multiple books. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, supporting/agreeing with the comments above. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:04, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
