Article was just restored from a speedy deletion. Subject appears to be a WP:BLP1E candidate, as they are the subject of a trial for malpractice. Additional concerns are that the article may not be able to be written fron a WP:NPOV due to subject matter, and also this may qualify as WP:NOTNEWS.

Sorry, that's fixed now. I split the paragraph but didn't attach the references to both halves. Natureium (talk) 06:02, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Okay looks good. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:54, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

• Keep All the references listed in the article are from reliable sources and dedicated to the subject. Meets notability requirements. Tapered (talk) 05:37, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
• Keep, I had initially thought this was a BLP1E case but looking closer it seems that he's gotten himself in the news multiple times. A sort of low rent Jayant Patel. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 04:43, 20 February 2017 (UTC).

• Keep Widely covered and needs to be preserved for reference Eslonim (talk) 13:49, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
• Delete There is barely any coverage on this guy. No major, big name sources. At this point in time his wikipedia page just seems like a hit job. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.215.121.93 (talk) 16:58, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
  • I'd suggest you Google it. There's vast, major media coverage, including national media outlets. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 18:39, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
    • I just added three national news citations (CBS News, Washington Post and USA Today) but could have easily added 50 more. The notability and media coverage is extensive and beyond any dispute. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 18:56, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
• Keep Very notable as one of the most prominent, systematic medical malpractice cases. Extensive national and even global media coverage. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 18:39, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
• Keep, Maintains neutrality. Notable in that a life sentence is unprecedented for medical malpractice. Provides basic information not readily available elsewherre. Will be the first place many will look for more information than is typically provided in news reports. TeArtUscur (talk) 21:54, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
• Keep massively notable case that appears to be a catalyst toward changing some things about the medical profession, at least in the US. Sources are abundant. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:45, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
• Keep I think my vote should be obvious, as I created the page and was able to find quite a few reputable sources and there are several civil suits pending. Natureium (talk) 15:01, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
• Keep plenty of coverage exists to demonstrate notability. Lepricavark (talk) 15:58, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
• Keep - as my nomination.CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 20:34, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
