The result was delete. Note to Keep !Voters: Neither WP:GNG nor WP:ACADEMIC have quotations in the media as an indication of notability. The guidelines call for either wide citation in academic papers or detailed profiles in independent media, neither of which is fulfilled here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:55, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Only independent claim of notability is being quoted one time in the New York Daily News. The rest of the cited references are promotional for either the individual or his medical practice. (ESkog)^(Talk) 18:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:ACADEMIC; his citations at Google Scholar are minimal. Fails WP:GNG; he is occasionally quoted in the media (I found one other instance, from NBC News), but there is nothing significantly ABOUT him. The article is basically promotional. --MelanieN (talk) 20:45, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
