I'm nominating this article for deletion as it appears to be solely designed for self promotion (evident from its history) and is in violation of Wikipedia:Notability. The page lists a number of unverifiable reference and a search for Gouvas, H, purported to be an orthopaedic surgeon, on Pubmed returns zero hits. Malljaja (talk) 14:21, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It is surprising to see no response to this nomination. I would have thought this is an open and shut case — if one searches Google books for this individual, only one turns up. Have we lowered our standards for notability? Malljaja (talk) 14:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the only reference is to the greek version of wikipedia, and I do not see any coverage in reliable sources in a search on google. --Nuujinn (talk) 22:00, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The information in the article is unverified. The article lists a dozen or more books he supposedly authored, but nothing by this author can be found at Amazon or Google Scholar. (From the awkwardness of some of the titles it's possible they were published in Greek and the titles given are translations.) In any case, he does not appear to meet the notability guideline, at least not under the name Harry Gouvas. --MelanieN (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just tried searching under "C. Gkouvas" which apparently is another spelling of his name, but I still found nothing. --MelanieN (talk) 21:49, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
