Maurice A. Ramirez

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

An article about a medical doctor with other certifications and qualifications. The only source is a autobiographical book written by the subject of the article and the subject seems to have little or no nobility. Clamster 03:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment An article about him involved with Katrina blacklisted link removed Third party sources seems to be scarce though. -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 04:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

The updated references list 10 third party sources including USA Today and Entrepeneur Magazine. The additional references are primarily thrid party verified reporting of data that would in theory be provided by the subject. Reviewing other biographies, the number of references is commencerate and the impact of the subject on the national and international stage justifies the article.

 * Keep There are certainly now enough references, & I suspect there are a few more to be found also. The tone needs adjusting to make it more objective. DGG (talk) 02:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


 * weak keep lets be optimistic that the article does develop Victuallers (talk) 09:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, there are some pretty strong claims to notability, with references to back it up. Surely it needs clean-up and in-line cites, but there is definitely enough there.  I have re-written the lead to assert the notability there, and done some minor clean-up.  Pastordavid (talk) 13:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG and others; the tone is promotional but there's something worthy here, looks like. --Lockley (talk) 16:13, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
