This is someone who, unfortunately neither meets WP:GNG or WP:NPROF a google scholar search finds him as mid author in low-impact publications whereas a news search finds little more. The nytimes article mentioned here covers his organization but this is WP:INHERITED. Allan Nonymous (talk) 19:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep Article with 17 years of creation and reliable references, he is also an active HIV researcher in the field. He experienced firsthand the HIV epidemic in the 80s. This is why it led him to study medicine and in the 90s to begin a series of research studies at prestigious Californian universities. I believe that this man has more than notoriety to give us a lecture on HIV disease. Acartonadooopo (talk) 19:31, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Acartonadooopo We don't accept people in Wikipedia based on their credentials, except in few cases such as some judges and politicians. If they are well known then they should have more news coverage and then they would qualify. If the subject has won any well known awards he could still qualify without much news coverage.

Comment. I want to see him published in Hollywood Report or in TMZ, or in CNN no, he is not a famous person, he is a medical researcher for many anonymous people as well as the hundreds of doctors who fight to save the life of a Palestinian (anonymous) or someone killed by war from Netanyahu This is the person for whom the article was created 17 years ago (Relevant, obvious) it is reviewed in a medical portal perhaps published in medical journals (since they are the places where doctors rest, obviously) https://health.usnews.com/doctors/paul-berry-977226 Acartonadooopo (talk) 21:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: No coverage for this doctor, zero hits in Gscholar. Nothing in Gsearch. Grand claims in the article that are largely unsourced, puffy language. Could be a hoax, with little to no sourcing, we can't verify one way or the other. Oaktree b (talk) 23:12, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: reads more like an auto biography. No evidence of WP:GNG.Contributor892z (talk) 14:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:SIGCOV. I see a single independent, reliable source, and he has such a brief mention in a long text. There were lots of true heroes in those days, and he is no doubt one of them, but that does not make him notable. Bearian (talk) 13:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
