This article appears to be a resume. A search on google news reveals 0 hits for this person; prod removed by creator, who added more sources by the subject, but none about him. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:12, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not an encyclopedia article. JuJube (talk) 03:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep since he "has written four medical school text books that have been used by medical schools" but the article is in absurd shape. Gut it and stub it. JJL (talk) 03:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep as he exists and appears to be notable in his field. His publications are verifiable (he DOES have a listing with the Library of Congress) but the article is in dreadful shape and borderline vamispamicruftiful. Eddie.willers (talk) 03:53, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unverifiable. JFW | T@lk  05:30, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete His "book for the general lay public" is held in only 4 libraries, according to WorldCat, and is essentially self-published by his own foundation. His claimed medical textbooks seem to be held by no library whatsoever, judging by WorldCat & LC & National Library of Medicine. (if they were real, and could be shown to be widely used, then he would be notable, but there is zero evidence for even the bare existence.) The only paper listed in pub med is a 1 or 2 page letter in a journal. A possible G11 speedy as promotional. DGG (talk) 19:57, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment yes, the claim on his books appears to be rather exaggerated . But he seems to be a notable physician and meets WP:PROF which I consider applicable . JJL (talk) 01:41, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Response That link is to his own web site.  Have you found any independent confirmation- not on his own web site- for his notability? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment there's certainly considerable puffery on his web site and some things may be misrepresented; e.g., "Vitamin E Deficiency in Alzheimer’s: A Risk Factor for Increased Lipid Peroxidation? "Neurology Jan, 1988; 38: 169-170 appears to be just a letter and the same is true of "SDAT: Prevention May Be Possible." AGE, Vol. 11, 168, 1988 . Despite that it still looks like it meets WP:PROF to me, assuming it's true he's a fellow of the ACE, etc. That's he's exaggerating his resume and counting his own newsletter as publications doesn't change the fact that he's modestly well-known.
