This article fails WP:PROF, though I find some cross-references to articles published or co-authored by Blumenthal (using Google Scholar), there appears to be insufficient to establish significant impact in Pathology or Forensics. A potential justification based current roles does not meet the notability criteria either. Ash (talk) 12:09, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Commoner. Also fails WP:PROF and I cannot uncover any news coverage beyond a few testimonies in court cases as part of his job. EnglishAristocraticFool (talk) 12:27, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Very little coverage for WP:BIO, nothing to show passing WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 13:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. GS gives one paper cited eight times so fails WP:Prof #1. There does not seem to be anything else. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:19, 8 January 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete. Similar results found using query "Author=(Blumenthal R*) Refined by: Institutions=(UNIV PRETORIA) Timespan=All Years. Databases=SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI" in WoS: 5 papers with citations 5, 4, 1, 0, 0 – h index = 2 (unless there are some false-negatives we're missing here). No claim to have solved an important problem, no claim of distinguished position, no claim of notable awards, etc. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete - nothing I can find to satisfy WP:PROF; there doesn't seem to be anything particularly notable about this academic.  Cocytus   [»talk«]  03:12, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
