 * No evidence of any special notability. Associate professor of an American University does not imply inherent notability and I see nothing else here that meets WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 21:01, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The references are all primary sources or links to articles he's been quoted in. No evidence of special notability. Macrowriter (talk) 20:54, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - Weiss is a pretty common name and he doesn't seem to have a Google Scholar profile, but just searching GS for "Robert Weiss dermatology" will turn up a number of well-cited papers (386, 132, 123, 117, 111, 109, 105, 104, 85, 84, 80...). I know that clinical medicine is associated with higher citation counts, but I think this is enough for notability. EricEnfermero (Talk) 07:29, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep He appears to meet wp:academics in terms of highly cited articles. There aren't any awards that I can see, and the web page of the organization he is said to be president of does not list officers or its board so that isn't easily confirmed. The sources aren't terribly strong, however. I see this as squeaking by. LaMona (talk) 17:43, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
