Keith Jeffords

 * – ( View AfD View log )

None of the references in the article are to significant coverage in independent reliable sources, as required for notability, and I have been unable to find any such sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Puff piece for a non-notable plastic surgeon. Google News finds nothing of significance so he fails WP:BIO. Google Scholar finds only one significant article, in which he is one of seven authors - fails WP:ACADEMIC. Most of the article's references are either self-referential or do not mention the subject. A good example of Melanie's Law: if an article refers to the subject by first name ("Keith" rather than "Jeffords"), the subject almost always turns out to be non-notable. --MelanieN (talk) 22:37, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

 * This page should not be speedily deleted because... (I will re-write this entry. It was not my intentaion for this to be a solicitation, and I do not believe it is.  Also, as with  the other articles I have authored, the topic is "significant".  However, please kindly give me a couple weeks to re-write the entry.

 * I have completely re-written this article to increase neutrality, and eliminate G11 and other criteria for speedy deletion. I have deleted references to Dr. Jeffords as "prominent" as well as some of his awards/honors.  Dr. Jeffords is a significant member of Atlanta's community and is notable for a variety of reasons (media appearences, variety of association memberships, national influence, etc.)  I believe the edits I have made have resulted in an article that is encyclopedic in tone, while also highlighting important biographical accomplishments that readers would want to be aware of.

 * Delete - Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. I can see that he is quoted in newspapers, and there is local coverage of his university award.  But none of that is sufficient to meet our guidelines. -- Whpq (talk) 16:19, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
