I closed the previous AfD as speedy delete due to copyright violation which has now been cleared up. However, it's not clear to me that this man is notable. A number of news articles have been cited, but they're all stories about other things which include a quote by Boulos on the subject. Most are just a line or two - the longest is a couple of paragraphs, but still not significant coverage of the man himself. A notability tag has been added and removed a couple of times, so instead of letting that continue I thought I'd bring it here to establish consensus one way or the other.

 * In case the above was too hand-wavey to be clear: I am in favour of deletion. Olaf Davis (talk) 19:01, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article claims that he's the ed-in-chief of a BMC journal (a major publisher of biomedical journals) and this page confirms. Satisfies WP:PROF #8 explicitly. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 21:13, 11 March 2010 (UTC).
 * I'll happily confess that I'm in no position to judge whether the journal's "major [and] well-established" but I'm willing to believe it is if you reckon so. Olaf Davis (talk) 20:03, 16 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like a keep to me, per Agricola44 and WP:GNG. Stifle (talk) 23:00, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. With an h index of 12 from GS cites plus the editorship and media mentions. Xxanthippe (talk) 07:13, 12 March 2010 (UTC).
