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

Questionable coverage found. Originally created by a user that has been banned for paid editing and sockpuppeting. Nominating rather than PRODing because he has been published and since I'm not familiar with the field, I'm asking other editors to see if he passes WP:ACADEMIC.

 * Delete when a source is "local x's book does y" you are heavily dealing with the type of local inserest stories that do not show notability. We should also do all we can to avoid Wikipedia turning into Who's Who, which means ridding it of articles created for pay from the subject.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:09, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. Although the original heavily-promotional wording has been trimmed back, this still appears to have no purpose other than promotion. We have no evidence of academic, author, or general notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:20, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Sources fail GNG, most just link to self-published material or the the individuals book itself. Only one appears to be independent, but probably lacks notability due to just being a local paper. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 06:22, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Leaning delete, simply seems to be a long-time bariatric surgeon. I get one or two hits in GScholar that could be him, first initial matches. The paid creation/sockpupuet doesn't help with the notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
