  • Keep Here's a New York Times obit, for starters. He was a nationally syndicated radio psychiatrist. Zagalejo^^^ 02:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. According to the Times, his radio show was syndicated nationally. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep If the "Times" says you are nationally syndicated, you're probably nationally syndicated. Therefore, he meets WP: BIO. Coaststocoasts (talk) 06:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as an NYT obit certainly speaks to notability, verifiability. Article could use improved sourcing but that's best handled with tags, not an AfD. - Dravecky (talk) 06:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, clearly notable given coverage in multiple sources and the fact he was syndicated nationally. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC).
  • Keep Notable enough just for the book The Making of a Psychiatrist, a significant bestseller in its day. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Clearly passes WP:BIO based on the comments above. Also, here is a GoogleNews search with 351 hits and plenty of in-depth coverage of him[1]. Nsk92 (talk) 14:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
