Morris Waxler

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person. A former US FDA functionary, and now independent consultant. Made some news testifying about concerns of the LASIK eye surgery technique. Whereas the controversy may (or may not) be notable, Waxler is not notable for his involvement in it. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:41, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete --- another WP:COATRACK. Plenty of content on the LASIK article already. I note that the same user created this page as Dean Andrew Kantis. I assume good faith and that there are not WP:advocacy, non NPOV, UNDUE, etc. etc. issues here. Lesion  ( talk ) 19:30, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep A quick google news search turns up multiple results. Not only results in relation to his Lasik controversy, but some results that date back to 1998 about his career and work.Muhammad Ali Khalid (talk) 14:25, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps if Mr. Khalid would be so kind as to expand the article indicating Waxler's other notable accomplishments with citations to these sources he has found, we could better evaluate his statement. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:35, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

 Keep Dr. Morris Waxler is a notable person. A search for Morris Waxler at google returns 44,000 results. Dr. Waxler was recently interviewed for the September 27th edition of the Dr. Oz Show, which has an audience estimated at 3 million. Dr. Waxler was chosen because of his expertise in regard to medical device issues, notably the excimer laser. His petition to withdraw the approval of the excimer laser used for LASIK is controversial and had created wide discussion. Dr. Waxler has been interviewed in a variety of prominent media sources, including: Good Morning America MSNBC News ABC News Hindsight 20/20 and Canadian TV Global News 16:9 The Bigger Picture, which is considered the Canadian version of 60 minutes [4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogerdavis101 (talk • contribs) 00:03, 8 October 2013 (UTC)  — Rogerdavis101 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Merge into LASIK. Coverage of Dr. Waxler is tied entirely to his testimony and views on Lasik surgery, and without this there is no notability as best as I can ascertain. Coretheapple (talk) 16:17, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
