Article issues.
editThis article is basically a resume reliant almost entirely on primary sources and a not-too-subtle advertisement for the subject's private medical practice. [1]. The few non-primary "references" do not mention the subject or mention him only in passing. At this point, I'm not sure this even passes the notability criteria for academics. In my view each reference needs to be checked for its validity, broken links, and/or whether it attests to the subject's notability. If there is not significant improvement in the sourcing for this article, it may well end up at an Articles for deletion discussion. If the article's principal author has any affiliation whatsoever, either personal or professional, with Peter Hersh, I strongly suggest they read WP:COI and follow the guidance there scrupulously, Voceditenore (talk) 17:49, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
