Subject doesn't appear to be notable per WP:BIO. Credentials, while they may be impressive on a resume, aren't referenced and aren't so notable as to set the subject apart from many other physicians. The single reference is not about Kast and only mentions him a couple times in passing. All GNews seem to be about other people named "Robert Kast". Dismas |(talk) 06:23, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Resumé is that of almost any successful and civic-minded physician, not enough to satisfy WP:BIO. Subject lacks significant coverage at Google News; the only reference listed in the article mentions him in passing. PubMed finds no publications by him; Google Scholar search is overwhelmed by other people with the same name; but he does not appear to have any significant publications which might qualify him under WP:ACADEMIC. Probably a fine person, but not sufficiently notable for an article in an international encyclopedia. --MelanieN (talk) 22:08, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Gross vanity with a dollop of commercial promo thrown in. EEng (talk) 17:44, 24 June 2012 (UTC) Upon some of Cato's friends expressing their surprise, that while many persons without merit or reputation had statues, he had none, he answered, "I had much rather it should be asked why the people have not erected a statue to Cato, than why they have."
