This is a biographical article without a single reliable, secondary source. The subject appears to be a podiatrist who has spoken at a conference or two, given some lectures, and had some articles published in various venues. I'm sure he's a fine podiatrist, but he doesn't appear to meet the requirements of WP:BIO. Jayjg (talk) 03:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment There is some press coverage showing he's considered an expert by the media. But almost nothing on Google Scholar. If we have an article on barefoot/minimalist running, a merge there might be a possibility as an advocate of that. And some of the references in the article, none of which have links to articles, may help. But we don't have enough to save yet. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:PROF is for people who are primarily notable as scholars. Subject is a podiatrist who speaks to reporters, and does not appear to have a significant scholarly role which would qualify him to pass WP:PROF. Thus, we default to the GNG/WP:BIO, which he does not pass. Ray  Talk 04:18, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
