Kenneth Kim
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Plastic surgeon/researcher. Member of some professional associations. Some publications that, according to the Web of Science, have been cited 20 tomes, highest citation count 10, h-index of 2 (searching for "Kenneth Kim"). Only sources in the article are his own publications, two brief references in the "Koreatown Daily" (a local newsletter for Korean immigrants) and some in-passing mentions in Korea Times. None of this meets WP:ACADEMIC or WP:GNG. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 13:16, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete-- the article states he is most well known for his research & that he is an Assistant Clinical Professor, indicating that the individual should meet WP:PROF, backed up by reliable independent sources. Neither is the case. Lesion  ( talk ) 17:18, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. In particular the publications listed in our article (and the ones I could find through Google scholar) are not highly cited enough to pass criterion C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:50, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. No pass of WP:Prof. Non-academic sources quoted are of inadequate value to pass WP:GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:48, 14 October 2013 (UTC).
 * Comment. This is actually the third AfD nomination. Others were closed with non consensus on 15 July 2010 and 19 Jan 2012. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:14, 14 October 2013 (UTC).
