Deletion of William James Wanless

Comment: starting a missionary hospital is in no way notable. many such hospitals exist all over the world run by physicians of dubious competence.  He is not notable professionally. clearly fails  by miles

Comment: I'm happy to withdraw the nomination if someone can show me how this meets  (or maybe ?), rather than just saying it's "silly" and that he is "enormously notable". As far as I can tell, none of his accomplishments are particularly noteworthy. A delegate to the 1910 World Missionary Conference? Judging from the pic in that article, there were an awful lot of those. President of the Missionary Medical Association of India? Is that a notable organization? Is it the same as the Christian Medical Association of India? I don't know. Is 75,000 surgeries a lot? Does that somehow satisfy the notability criteria? Not as far as I can see. And, yes, the British Medical Journal wrote a nice obituary for him, but that's not really the best source to prove what a "prolific" writer he was; how about citing some of the actual stuff he wrote, so we can judge for ourselves how prolific he was? This is not just a matter of clean-up; as far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to assert notability at all, at least as far our guidelines go. But, again, if I'm wrong, I'm happy to speedy keep

Comment: You can't tell it from the article right now, and I don't have time to rewrite it this week, but I'll try to at least redo the lead paragraph to show his notability. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to call him "the Albert Schweizer of India". He turned the once-small village of Miraj into the medical powerhouse of India. By the time he retired, the clinic he started had become a 250-bed hospital http://www.pinet.on.ca/peeldiglib/Page.asp?PageOrder=332&PubCode=medicine; the Wanless Hospital (still named after him 100 years later) is now a 550 bed teaching hospital. http://www.wanlesshospital.org/aboutus.htm) He founded the first missionary medical school in India, in 1897.http://books.google.com/books?id=IWdZTaJdc6UC&pg=PA514&lpg=PA514&dq=wanless+knight+of+the+kingdom&source=bl&ots=YxyKEFd5no&sig=UrG5yy7sDH8SU9hSNUxkW_zsMBM&hl=en&ei=kmOjTJidCo-esQPe0uj6Bg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=wanless%20knight%20of%20the%20kingdom&f=false Also still in existence are the Wanless Chest Hospital and the Mary Wanless Hospital. With a legacy like that - major hospitals founded by him and named for him, even the neighborhood of Miraj known as Wanlesswadi (how many people get a neighborhood of a city named after them?) - he almost defines notability. You wouldn't expect to find his writings at Google Scholar since he retired in 1928; he fills the much more basic requirement of

Comment: Quite apart from obviously passing the general notability guideline the subject also passes  criterion 1 with a knighthood
