No consensus in 2007. The AfD is worth reading, for the absurdity of the arguments for keeping the article; the non-admin close made no attempt to analyse which of the arguments were related to the notability: the main one was that the Genealogy Research Group of which he was cofounder was notable. was notable and important.

 * Keep If the Gerontology Research Group is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, then its chief researcher is too. -The Gnome (talk) 19:23, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Nope, notability is not inherited by association. 2) The GRG article should probably be put up for AFD, too. --Calton | Talk 02:36, 12 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - I did do what the nominator suggested and read over the 2007 debate that he finds so ludicrous. It was enough to convince me that this was, indeed, a recognized expert in the field of longevity research and therefore worthy of encyclopedic biography via the ACADEMIC SNG. Carrite (talk) 15:29, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Dr. Coles and his work was notable enough to be featured in Wired Magazine, Nov 2012 (see right), L. Steve Coles, Long Life Dissected, Wired 2012.jpg featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and spotlighted by the Smithsonian. Others in the field consider Dr. Coles to be notable, including Ray Kurzweil (Kurzweil on Coles) and the AMMG. He has authored over 149 scientific publications. --2001:4898:80E8:2:0:0:0:1E0 (talk) 02:12, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
