The only sourcing here is a search parameter for his papers and a link to the website of an organization he headed. Just because a university has someone's papers and created a short bio connected with their papers, does not automatically make them notable. The link to his company website does not even work. A google search turned up a linkedIn listing and that was about it. Nothing indicates that he meets notability for acdemics, which is the normal way psychiatrists are found to be notable, nor for GNG, nor any other criteria as far as I can tell. The other way some psychiatrists achieve notability is as writers, but I see no evidence Mr. Menninger has ever written anything, let alone something that would propel him towards notability.

  • Comment After doing a deep Google search I can see some credible sources like The New York Times and a few other related sources.

My vote is still in the middle. Let's wait for more experts here in this field like @David Eppstein and Russ Woodroofe:. Grailcombs (talk) 18:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He was a nationally-recognized expert on suicide and stress and the president/CEO of a major health care foundation for 26 years, overseeing a period of tremendous growth and expansion. Passes WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources. Cbl62 (talk) 21:37, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If the NY Times says that he is the President of "one of the major psychiatric treatment and teaching facilities in the world", then that appears to be a highly reliable secondary source vouching for his notability. Also, it appears that he edited a large work on the history of medical practice, which may also be notable. Given that he was the President and CEO of this organization for a significant period of time, there should be plenty more reliable sources sitting around somewhere. Has the American Psychiatric Association written anything about him or his clinic? Hyperion35 (talk) 01:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
