Deletion of Steven Shafer

Comment: I think notability is now established.  However, I do agree entirely with the  concerns raised above, and this article will need to be carefully watched to make sure it does not become a |coatrack or otherwise defamatory.  I've added it to my watchlist, for whatever this is worth

Comment: Besides being the EIC of a well-established journal, the Web of Science lists more than 200 papers, cited over 7000 (!) times with an h-index of 42. I dare say that this is even above the mean for full professors at Stanford, let alone lesser institutions. I'm sorry that Shafer felt obliged to take this article to AfD in order for it to be cleaned up and become an acceptable bio. I hope that the recent edits by Xxanthippe and David satisfy him and in that case to close this AfD as a  keep. I'll keep the article watchlisted for a while, an extra pair of eyes can never hurt

Comment: As editor-in-chief of a notable journal, Shafer likely passes . However, I concur with his  concerns: there is too much focus on his expert testimony and not enough on his academic accomplishments. This needs to be fixed if the article is to be kept. If someone is willing to take the article in hand and bring it up to shape before the AfD closes, it's possible it can be saved

Comment: after Xxanthippe's improvements (reducing the expert witness content to a single sentence about a notable trial). As she says, he clearly passes #C1 as well as (per my earlier comment) #C8, and the lifetime achievement award of the International Society of Anaesthetic Pharmacology is probably also good enough for #C2. I'd be willing to let the subject's preferences take priority in borderline cases, but the citations are too high for this one to be borderline. I've watchlisted it, so if the subject has concerns that can be handled by editing rather than deletion, we can discuss them on the article talk page

Comment: Clear pass of rof#C1 and rof#C8. I don't see that the article has any content that violates  , but see Eppstein above about
