This article was created by user Ljvdp shortly before he was indefinitely blocked for harassment. There are no reliable sources to justify the subject's notability or the article's content, and it is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. For these reasons, I believe that a WP:A7 speedy deletion is justified. Cpotisch (talk) 20:05, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- This was an incomplete nomination. I have completed it and listed it at AFD since approximately 05:54, 2 May 2022. I have no opinion on the topic. --Izno (talk) 05:58, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete First off, well done to this chap for making it head of a top-5 med school in the world, at such a relatively young age. That being said, the sources cited don't meet GNG, and as for NACADEMIC notability, I don't think his ICSM headship is enough to satisfy #6, or the FRCP to satisfy #3, and I don't see anything else there. (Happy to be proven wrong on either count, of course.) As a side note, this still stinks of promo, and IMO those Amazon links should be removed (unless we're now earning affiliate royalties!), and I'm not happy about the likely COI/UPE either, but none of those are the reasons for my !vote. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:02, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, I only just noticed that those were Amazon links, so I removed them. I truly think that that settles the fact that this is purely promotional. Is there anything we can do to expedite the deletion process? Cpotisch (talk) 17:13, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Would appear to satisfy WP:NACADEMIC #5. Imperial College School of Medicine is a highly notable institution. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:22, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Director of a medical school is not equivalent to a "named chair" or "distinguished professorship" (he is not even a professor), so no he does not meet #5. JoelleJay (talk) 02:26, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies. I meant #6. "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society." Which he indisputably has. Although it may appear to come under Imperial College, London medical schools have always operated as effectively independent academic institutions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:51, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In this case he'd be under the Dean of the Imperial College Faculty of Medicine, though. He's not the highest-level post. - MrOllie (talk) 12:27, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The president of Imperial College would be the highest administrative position, #6 doesn't apply to the directors of individual schools even if they operate largely independently. JoelleJay (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesn't meet WP:NACADEMIC, nor are sources really there to meet WP:GNG. - MrOllie (talk) 12:27, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG. FRCP rank does not qualify for #3 of WP:ACADEMIC, it's a relatively common rank held by many UK physicians. Head of the ICSM is not an academic but an administrative distinction, and as ICSM is not independent, he is under Imperial's Dean of Medicine. In short: does not meet WP:ACADEMIC. Ari T.

Delete. Per above discussion. JoelleJay (talk) 02:15, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
