Already tagged for notability. There is no indication of notability, bio reads like just another doctor. He doesn't meet any of WP:NACADEMICS. Non notable IMO Gbawden (talk) 09:03, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, what about American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons membership? According to WP:Academics #3, if he is a fellow of a higher institution, (in this case American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) then he is more then notable. I might not understand a difference between being a fellow and being a member.--Mishae (talk) 15:02, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources do not show notability. The only source seems to be a vanity site where members submit themselves for inclusion. Stesmo (talk) 21:15, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - WP:Academics #3 mentions a highly selective organisation. American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons membership stands at about 36000 and thus is not selective, plus it sounds like an organisation you are expected to belong to. Gbawden (talk) 09:13, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Physicians are wonderful people and I am glad he and all the others worked so hard to gain those skills. He's a member of a professional group that can bring 30,000 people to San Francisco, filling hotel rooms and packing the restaurants and cable cars. He's a rank and file member, who meets the qualifications and pays his dues. Does this make him notable enough for a Wikipedia biography? I don't think so.

Delete - The article does not clarify why the subject is relevant. Membership of the stated organisations does not confer relevance. - Taketa (talk) 05:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Membership in AAOS does not make a person notable. Virtually all orthopedic surgeons in the US become members while in residency and remain until they retire. We're talking about a guy who completed his training and became a practicing surgeon only five years ago. This isn't even a close question. Qwertyzap (talk) 22:15, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
