editPlease read Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. The subject's own publications are not evidence of notability. References must be independent. If you are related to Dr Combs, you should not be creating the article as you have a conflict of interest.Deb (talk) 13:06, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. Please read the pages I referred you to, along with any linked pages, eg. Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. I would reiterate that publications written by the subject of the article are not evidence of notability. If, after reading the guidelines, you still have questions, you can get help at Wikipedia:Teahouse. Deb (talk) 15:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
