[edit] Jean Emond
Article fails WP:BIO. Article was created by an WP:SPA account with no other edits other than related to columbiasurgery.org. possible copyvio http://asp.cumc.columbia.edu/facdb/profile_list.asp?uni=je111&DepAffil=Surgery. Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article Hu12 (talk) 07:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. Named professorship. Medline finds 119 articles for "JC Emond" which on a quick scan nearly all look to be him, including several high-profile reviews eg in Annu Rev Med & J Am Coll Surg. Google Scholar finds two papers with over 250 citations, a further three with >100, and many with >50. He meets my definition of WP:PROF. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. More importantly he meets Wikipedia's definition of WP:PROF. In fact he passes every criterion, even though only one is required: Google news shows that he passes 1, the citations take care of 2-4, the liver transplant work gets him through 5 and the named professorship 6.

- Keep there is some misunderstanding here about COI: it does not make the subject unnotable or the article subject to being deleted. Being based on a web page is not copyvio. copying it or directly paraphrasing it is copyvio, though it is true that a good deal of COI material from PR people is copyvio, so it is right to have checked it. Some of what this PR person entered is clearly acceptable here--like this. Notable both as a researcher and clinician. "Director of Transplantation NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY" -- this counts as head of the service at a major teaching hospital--subject to correction, it amounts to the same status as chairman of the dept at a corresponding medical school. Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at Columbia, reflecting the research--and it is the recognition of the research which makes scholars notable. DGG (talk) 00:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
