It is a common name but I can find nothing to suggest that this person meets the notability guideline for academics. Sitush (talk) 06:10, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yes, he is a researcher, but not so notable as to pass WP:SCHOLAR. Google search confirms that he does publish [1] on Alzheimer's disease, but rarely as the lead author, and citations of his articles by others are unimpressive.[2] The only link provided in the article is a dead link to what must once have been his biography at the Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Center; the current staff listing does not include him [3] so apparently he is no longer affiliated with them. --MelanieN (talk) 22:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not seem to pass notability requirements under WP:PROF or WP:BIO. Not really listed under Boston University’s Alzheimer's Disease Center. One of the links to news is broken; the other suggests that the subject is an assistant professor. A search on GS, after removing what appeared to be false positives, suggests an relatively low h-index of 4. Shows potential for WP-notability in the future, but perhaps the article was created too early.--Eric Yurken (talk) 20:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Seems to me to be a clear case of failing WP:ACADEMIC. --Legis (talk - contribs) 05:03, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
