The result was delete, I am using the relevant guideline Wikipedia:Notability (people) to assist. I do not think there has been adequate evidence cited below to indicate that he meets the guideline -- Samir धर्म 08:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Issues are almost identical to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariano Anto Bruno Mascarenhas. Does not appear to meet the guidelines in Wikipedia:Notability (doctors), Wikipedia:Notability (people) for authors, or Wikipedia:Notability (books). Possible violation of WP:VAIN and WP:WWIN: Article largely copied from: http://sumerdoc.googlepages.com/sumersethi'scurriculumvitae. -AED 17:13, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions. -- Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep - Needs to be wikified but he's published in AIIMS 5 times. That's fairly notable.. He won an award for best medical blog.Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete: Wikipedia is not a resume or publication list. There are perhaps thousands of other medical researchers with similar publications, nothing shows why this person is any more notable than them. --Ragib 23:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An article can be written about them also. Just because one researcher does not have an article, it is not an excuse for deleting article about every researcher. Also he is not some one who has published one paper (read by 10 people). He has written half a dozen books read by thousands of Doctors Doctor Bruno 07:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete. Notability not established. PubMed does not reveal any major publications in major journals. Does not establish quality or quantity nor can it be verified at PubMed. No Cell, Nature, Science, New England Journal, or even 2nd-tier publications. No established review of this individual in newspapers. ONLY ONE ORIGINAL PAPER. --Antorjal 05:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete - only one paper. Analogous to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariano Anto Bruno Mascarenhas case. Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 08:25, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (doctors) 3. The person has published a large quantity of academic work (of at least reasonable quality). 4. The person has published a significant or well-known academic work. (review of Radiology) 9. The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them. (award for medical blog)

I think the quality of the work is under question. I don't believe that writing a review is evidence of "significant or well-known academic work"..--Antorjal 05:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (books) 2. The book is by a bestselling or otherwise notable author. 6. The book has been the subject[3] of multiple, independent, non-trivial[4] reviews. 7. The book has been the subject[3] of multiple, non-trivial[4] published works whose sources are independent of the book itself.

The links for the original papers are given. Doctor Bruno 00:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Press Coverage and Awards are added in the article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctorbruno (talk • contribs)

Wait, do you want to imply a 2 sentence quote is "press coverage"? Or do you imply the letters to editors? I personally have had both, does that mean I deserve an article too? The "coverage" wasn't on him. Newspapers have such 2 liners from thousands of people everyday. That doesn't make all of them notable. --Ragib 07:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
