No, it doesn't. Dr. Bruce Fink is the foremost interpreter of Lacan in America. He is the author of six books on Lacan (which have been translated into many different languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, German, Polish, Croatian, Greek, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese). His books have been published by top-notch academic publishers like Harvard University Press, Princeton University Press, Polity etc. Here are links to some secondary sources which establish his importance:

i) Interview One with Psych Central
ii) Interview Two with Freud Museum
iii) Lacan Online cites him as the author of one of the best introductions to Lacan
iv) Review of Fink's book Lacan on Love in the journal Radical Philosophy
v) Review of the book Lacan to the Letter in International Journal of Baudrillard Studies
vi) Research article published on his work in the journal Filozofski Vestnik
vii) Interview with him in the journal Contemporary Psychoanalysis

He has also given talks on Lacan and conducted workshops with Lacanian psychoanalysts are various places:

Toronto
Pittsburgh
Portland, Oregon.

This is enough to establish his notability per WP:GNG and WP:SCHOLAR Mohanbhan (talk) 18:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
