Bit of an odd one. References are all damaged and/or dead and before doesn't show much. Scopus has an entry. Fails WP:SIGCOV.  scope_creep Talk  14:43, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. If this claim can be verified, notability is clear. "He authored a leading textbook in the field which is now in the 5th edition and in 6 languages and authored over 174 articles in the medical literature and over 50 book chapters." If he is a full professor, that would also tend to indicate notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:57, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment I think he co-authored that textbook but it would need more than coverage to satisfy WP:SIGCOV and that is the real core of it. Hopefully somebody will illuminate it. WP:THREE refs would be handy to replace to the damaged ones. It is not enough on its own.   scope_creep Talk  16:04, 15 March 2023 (UTC)


 * weak Keep per WP:NPROF#4 which is specifically mentioning a widely used textbook author. The book has 435 citations on google scholar, so this would qualify as widely used textbook to me. He is not quite at the bar to pass WP:NPROF#1 with his citation record. --hroest 21:39, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
