Deletion of Edward Sidney Hyman

Comment: Stating "no evidence of notability" ignores both the evidence provided by {{u|PropelAssisting}} and policies for determining notability.  This nomination appears to be more about providing a quick and facile response to Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Edward_Sidney_Hyman|Fringe concerns instead of actually examining notability. Upon examination, this subject passes  #1 {{tq|The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.}} This is a researcher published in some of the most prestigious medical journals including ''Nature'', ''Lancet'', ''New England Journal of Medicine'', ''Annals of Internal Medicine'' and more.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4291002/ The article in ''Nature'' has been cited twice, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6129457/ articles in https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6330553/ ''Lancet'' have been cited twice, their https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6330553/ ''New England Journal of Medicine'' article has been cited fifteen times, etc.  These are independent reliable sources for Hyman's research having significant impact

Comment: I looked for sources on the Internet Archive, Gale, ProQuest and Newspapers.com. There is a lot of coverage of his Gulf War theory, e.g. https://archive.org/details/killingfactoryto0000park/page/190,https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofyo00sher/page/130/mode/2up?q=%22Edward+Hyman%22, https://www.newspapers.com/clip/60199613/the-daily-advertiser/, etc. And there's a staff obituary in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/60199653/pittsburgh-post-gazette/ However I am concerned that a) the coverage is largely surrounding  and b) most of the articles just repeat his claims uncritically. Per  (this isn't a BLP, but the same concerns apply): {{tq|Caution should be exercised when evaluating whether there are enough sources available to write a neutral biography that neither unduly promotes nor denigrates the subject.}} Even if there is enough coverage to meet GNG I do not think that we have the serious critical sourcing needed to properly address his fringe claims, which, it seems, are all he is really notable for. (The paper from Southern & Patel linked above isn't usable since it's primary research and fails ). I don't buy the NPROF argument, plenty of people who published in the 60s and 70s have impressive citation counts, see https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=melvin+judkins&btnG= for example

Comment: Fails  even allowing for citation counts probably being generally lower in the past. (The point of  is that we need to be able to write about academics who have demonstrable influence even when biographical coverage is spotty, but there still has to be demonstrable influence.) As written, the article is one long failure of , which requires secondary or tertiary sources that evaluate the claims made in primary ones. The assertions about his solving Gulf War syndrome are pure . The "systemic coccal disease" material is also extremely dubious. (The closest thing I can find to a genuinely independent, third-party evaluation is a brief comment by https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(11)63058-9/fulltext Sartin (2000), which lists it among proposed explanations for GWS that {{tq|remain hypothetical and have not been demonstrated in appropriate test populations using standard microbiological techniques}}. Most mentions of it are by G. L. and N. L. Nicolson, who coauthored with Hyman and shouldn't be considered independent experts
