Article does not meet WP:BIO guidelines for establishing notability. Article appears to have a conflict of interest. Ham Pastrami (talk) 17:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep It does meet notability guidlines, but it does need some work.Metal Head (talk) 18:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep for reasons already mentioned --Jamesmh2006 21:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesmh2006 (talk • contribs)
• Delete. Non-notable. Allegation of COI is a concern. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC).
• Keep. May have had COI issues early on but has been massively rewritten/sourced by Uncle G. --Dhartung | Talk 04:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

The article still reads like a vanity puff. Still non-notable. What does Sammy Lee think? Xxanthippe (talk) 06:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC).

• Keep The books and articles are sufficient for notability. As for the outrageous puffery, it can be removed easily enough; starting from the good rewrite by Uncle G, I've removed the righty-named trivia section listing everyone he knows professionally, and the duplicate listing of his positions. I think it still needs another round or two. I do not care what the subject thinks, or that there was COI in the writing. The career is notable, & its facts are documented by the official CV at University College. DGG (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Per DGG, and also a quick Google search revealed extensive use as an expert on fertility by the UK media (eg BBC, Guardian) which makes it likely readers will search for him here. Espresso Addict (talk) 10:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
