Deprod-ed orphan article about a non-notable physician. Does not meet WP:BIO. Secondary source coverage is not about subject such that it would confer notability. Agtx (talk) 17:01, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The final paragraph in the WP:LEAD may confer notability. This is why I dePRODed the article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:52, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - From a non-academic POV, I'm not seeing much good here and my searches found nothing to confirm improvement here, here, here and here. Maybe can offer some input here.  SwisterTwister   talk  05:19, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Re the invitation above: I'm not very confident in my judgement of physicians, but medical informatics is something I should know a little more about (whether or not I actually do). To me, this has the whiff of promotional editing, the way it's so filled with puffery, spammy sources, and attempts at notability-by-association, not to mention the personal detail that is unlikely to be found in any usable source. I'd be more confident in the judgement and reliability of the claimed HealthLeaders and Healthspottr sources if they were actually notable themselves. His citation record (under author:ll-berkowitz) is clearly below par for WP:PROF. So putting it together, I think there are reasons to delete (the article's promotional nature) and I can't find a strong policy-based reason to keep. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:37, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete He clearly has had a successful career as according to the article he is a Physician, Medical Director, Author, Speaker, Consultant, a Professor of Medicine, healthcare organization founder AND a Physician consultant on 43 movies/TV shows. I see his LinkedIn profile and he somehow currently holds six fulltime jobs. This leads me to not trust his own self-promotion nor the efforts of User:DrLyleFan who created and wrote most of this article. Let's not use Wikipedia to advertise this man's career as that is what his blog is for. Liz  Read! Talk! 22:29, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
