 * Hello, I appreciate you taking the time to review the article and give me feedback. I think the article should stay! I went through the article and made some significant changes! I performed more vigorous research and found sources that I think we can agree, are suitable to Wikipedia. Initially, the biography was written with the sources that were available online. I went in and added more reliable secondary and tertiary sources, and I removed the profiles pages (my inexperience led me to add those, my apologies). Because of the lack of publications on Tony Coles coupled with the consensus about his life and work amongst the sources available, I wrote the article with NPOV with verifiable and notable sources I found. I added a source from the Gale database; the biographical information presented from the Gale biography online collection is a very reliable and scholarly tertiary source. Material was also sourced from Nature America, Inc: (Nature Biotechnology), a  peer reviewed scientific journal published monthly by the Nature Research. I also added material from sources like Life Science Leader.


 * Additionally, according to Wikipedia:Systemic bias, people of color, like Tony Coles are under represented on Wikipedia and I believe that it would be a great service to shed some light on his life and work. He should have an equal opportunity to have an article about himself, especially after reading about his inspiring accomplishments! I believe to bridge the gap underrepresentation, the article should definitely stay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Systemic_bias


 * I’d love to work together with you to build on the article and get some constructive criticism from you to make the article better if possible! --RealPharmer3 (talk)

 * Comment The article references are all press-releases and stock price sites except for the odd bad ref. It would need a complete rewrite to make it conform to the WP:MOS. It is a TNT case. It also fails WP:SIGCOV as they're is no one in-depth, secondary source amongst the lot of them.   scope_creep Talk  09:35, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete the sourcing does not meet GNG. Not every person appointed to some advisory committee by the president is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:07, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
