Non-notable individual. Cannot find any substantial coverage of him in reliable sources as required to meet WP:BIO. SmartSE (talk) 18:22, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Many notable academic journals and conferences have been mentioned, as well as established academic universities and philanthropic endeavors. Please reply on my talk page, as I have completely redone this page and believe it provides more than substantial evidence to Dr. Herzig's notability.BlakeRM (talk) 19:13, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Has not received SIGCOV in RS. I also do not think the subject meets WP:NACADEMIC, though they hold the post of Clinician Teacher at the Department of Ophthalmology & Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, and have authored a number of papers in ophthalmology journals.

Delete as hopelessly promotional. For example I checked out the source provided for the statement, "Herzig has been recognized as a leader in the use of laser technologies in refractive surgery", and found that all that it said was that he had been "honoured" by a hospital staff association for unstated reasons along with dozens of other people. The rest of the article is written in the same vein. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:04, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doctors are typically not notable unless they are recognized as particularly significant or innovative in their specialty (i.e. WP:NACADEMIC); don't see that here. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:38, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
