An obscure Iowan neurosurgeon whose book propounding his idiosyncratic theory of evolution/philosophy of science received a pair of 1953 reviews (in The Philosophical Forum and the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association, not in any journal that specialises in evolutionary biology, or philosophy of science). Does not appear to meet WP:PROF. KillerChihuahua ?!?Advice 14:22, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

The soil science journal, medical library association, American Psychiatric Association, Oxford Journal all reviewed his book. We also have reliable sources which show he was a surgeon and the University he worked at see the article itself, still have no idea why this is trying to be deleted.
