Delete per nom.--CyberGhostface (talk) 21:44, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep and rewrite if necessary to remove any actual copyvio, due to his absolutely clear notability: "Professor of Medicine and Obstetrics-Gynecology at the Weill-Cornell University Medical College " Full professor at one of the most important medicalschools in the world, with multiple additional honors as shown in the article. One of them is editor in chief of Arthritis & Rheumatism, the official publication of the American College of Rheumatology. Editor in cheif of a journal like that shows clear recognition in the field as a major authority. Acting director of NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. I wonder if the nominator has actually read the article, or WP:PROF, or is simply assuming that COI is reason for deletion. Ditto for the "per nom" comment. I've removed over a hundred of his minor publications, which are hardly necessary to show the notability, and do give a CV-like tone to the article. I could look for citations to the several hundred peer reviewed articles, but in view of the obvious notability shown by the rest, it hardly seems necessary.

Speedy keep. I have nothing to add to DGG's detailed analysis. I cannot imagine that then om actually looked at this article before taking it to AfD, notability drips off the screen. Article needs major cleanup, but that is no reason to take it to AfD and waste our time. --Crusio (talk) 23:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
