Known only for involvement with Eliza Jane Scovill and therefore WP:BLP1E would apply. Little in-depth outside coverage to establish notability. Yobol (talk) 02:46, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment Yeah, most of the coverage is from Anti-AIDS groups or other fringe science, but there are good sources. ThePlatypusofDoom  (Talk) 11:43, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete fringe scientist without the level of coverage needed for those who are fringe theorists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. He appears to be a run-of-the-mill AIDS denialist whose minor fame in connection to the Scoville case does not rise to the level of notability. We do at least have secondary sources criticizing his work from the mainstream point of view, which is better than many other non-notable fringe topics, but that balanced sourcing appears to exist only for the Scoville case and not for the content of the rest of the article. So there's nothing to write about neutrally but that case, and then the article fails WP:BLP1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:57, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:MILL applies here. The Scoville case is the only thing that might make him notable, but not much else, and WP:BLP1E may apply. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 01:01, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as still questionable for the applicable notability and the needed improvements. SwisterTwister   talk  05:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
