 * Delete per nom.--CyberGhostface (talk) 21:44, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and rewrite if necessary to remove any actual copyvio, due to his absolutely clear notability: "Professor of Medicine and Obstetrics-Gynecology at the Weill-Cornell University Medical College "  Full professor at one of the most important medicalschools in the world, with multiple additional honors as shown in the article. One of them is editor in chief of Arthritis & Rheumatism, the official publication of the American College of Rheumatology. Editor in cheif of a journal like that shows clear recognition in the field as a major authority. Acting director of  NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. I wonder if the nominator has actually read the article, or WP:PROF, or is simply assuming that COI is  reason for deletion.  Ditto for the "per nom" comment.  I've removed over a hundred of his minor publications, which are hardly necessary to show the notability, and do give a CV-like tone to the article. I could look for citations to the several hundred peer reviewed articles,   but in view of the obvious notability shown by the rest, it hardly seems necessary.

 * Speedy keep. I have nothing to add to DGG's detailed analysis. I cannot imagine that then om actually looked at this article before taking it to AfD, because notability more or less drips off the screen. Article needs major cleanup, but that is no reason to take it to AfD and waste our time. --Crusio (talk) 23:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, notability obvious beyond question. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:19, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per notability asserted and shown. Send toWP:CLEANUP.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep — (2x edit conflicts) I see neither a copyvio nor spam here. The publications listed easily establish notability of this scientist. MuZemike 23:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but needs tidying. JFW | T@lk  23:23, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. In addition to DGG's detailed analysis, a quick Google scholar search revealed not only that his research is highly cited (top few primary papers with 378, 280, 164 citations and many others >100 citations), but also that he is on international consensus committees, a clear sign that he is regarded as an expert by his peers.

 * Keep. Per DGG and Espresso Addict. I made some improvements to the article, but still needs more work. I will also leave a message to the article creator with some suggestions; that user has made a few improvements already, but the article still reads like a mini resume (among other problems).--Eric Yurken (talk) 03:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
