Can't find a single reliable reference to the only notable claim that he invented the Artificial Cardiac Pump. Most google search references seem to originate from Wikipedia. Regents Park (sink with my stocks) 15:12, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Additionally, this patent application for an Artificial Cardiac Pump lists a completely different set of people. --Regents Park (sink with my stocks) 15:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, believe it or not. If you search under Tofy Mussivand he seems to be more notable than first appears. So much so that there appears to have been an episode of a TV series about Canada, solely about him. The claim to have invented the artificial cardiac pump is a bit shakey, but he did appear to be prominent in the team behind the first Canadian implant of such a device and does hold a patent for a similar device. Adding to this a fairfew papers and roles as chairman and speaker at various forums, not to mention him winning the 2001 Innovation in Canada Award nor being a member of the Royal Society of Canada, I'd say he just clears the bar. The article needs some serious work (especially as it seems to turn into a recipe book at the end), but I think the notability of the subject holds up. onebravemonkey 16:06, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, having had a look at the article's history, it looks like the bit about toffee was fairly recent vandalism, so I've removed it. onebravemonkey 16:15, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess we should move the article to Tofy Mussivand if that is the generally accepted spelling. Still very little in the way of secondary sources (a newspaper article would be nice - I guess I'm old fashioned!) but I'll withdraw the deletion nomination.--Regents Park (sink with my stocks) 21:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
