Non-notable doctor. Possibly written by the subject or someone related. "Physician of the Year" is a political donation, not a real award. I could not find any coverage in reliable sources when I searched Google Web, News, Books and Scholar. Apoc2400 (talk) 11:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I found this interview in a previous version of the article, but that is all. --Apoc2400 (talk) 11:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete at least for now. His (self-published?) 2008 book has no reviews yet, and the awards listed here and here do not pass WP:BIO for notability. - 2/0 (cont.) 19:52, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Do Not Delete because as an Assyrian he is listed in the category of List of Assyrians, meaning though he may not be known world-wide, he is notable within his own specific ethnic group, the Assyrians. He is also an inventor of the napas device which is used in the medical field. Zayya (talk) 20:26, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He was added there by you. [1]. --Apoc2400 (talk) 21:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not find any evidence that his invention is particularly widely used, but I am not confident that I was performing the right searches. If it has had a significant impact on the field of anesthesiology, it would be appropriate to discuss its inventor at that (currently nonexistent) article. - 2/0 (cont.) 21:58, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am aware I added him! I think this needs much more research and his article requires expansion. I unfortunately cannot get to it immediately. If the consensus here is to delete the article, I don't particularly have an objection. However, I do object to a quick deletion without further research. Zayya 09:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - No coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. As for holding on to the article for further research, it can copy it to your sub-page and work on it there. I will note that as a minimum, establishing notability with some basic research should have been done when the article was created. -- Whpq (talk) 13:07, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
