Seemingly has plenty of sources until you realise that most of them are to his website or that of his company. Other mentions are incidental, not of the depth of coverage we require for this subject to meet WP:BIO Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 16:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I do see several things sourced to the subject's website including a reprint from the Pioneer Press which is part of Sun Times Media Group (and evidently has other things to attend to than their archives which don't exist). But there is also mention in Forbes and CBS News which satisfies notability. John R. Polito, editor of the same website, would be a much better candidate for deletion. -SusanLesch (talk) 17:01, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as a recognized expert in the field of smoking cessation. Article needs the addition of third-party sourcing but seems correctable through the normal editing process. Carrite (talk) 21:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Although I would like to see more content in the article from medical experts, I think this guy is notable.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
