Keep Unclear nomination; are you claiming he is not notable? He was President of the Royal College of Anaesthetists a leading UK medical organization; all his precedessors since 1988, and his successor, have articles. No particular sign of WP:PROMO. Johnbod (talk) 17:17, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep satisfies WP:NACADEMIC C6, which supersedes GNG: The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society. BTW, Philafrenzy is a long-term contributor who specializes in biographies of academics, not a promo editor. Spicy (talk) 17:29, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep subject passes WP:NACADEMIC Lightburst (talk) 17:41, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A humdrum biographical blurb, not actually promotionally toned. Passes WP:PROF#C6. If he had been editor-in-chief of the British Journal of Anaesthesia, he'd also pass WP:PROF#C8, but I think he's just been an editorial board member. XOR'easter (talk) 19:08, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Former president of a medical royal college is a major and notable role (he was in charge of the training of every anaesthetist in the UK). He is also the current deputy medical director of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS foundation trust a major non academic job. Well known in the anaesthesia field for his contribution to paediatric anaesthesia with a profile in the BMJ as well PainProf (talk) 03:58, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. That's the first time I've seen a peer reviewed interview: [1]. Outside of this source there is very little in the article to suggest notability... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:12, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No they don't peer review interviews, those are performed by the BMJ editorial staff. PainProf (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
