Deletion of Forest Tennant

Comment: although a '''weak keep'''.  Herostratus, thank you for your compassion and consideration of the subject.  I leaned toward agreement but checking further, he definitely meets criterion 7 of .  The article in its current state doesn't belong in main space; it is neither neutral nor anywhere near complete.  It is unbalanced since the recent negative aspects aren't included.  That said, although Tennant's books don't meet notability standards for separate articles, they are often referenced in the writings of researchers and other writers.  Google scholar finds over 200 articles where he is author or coauthor of articles in peer reviewed journals.  We need to watch this article and ensure it is balanced with due emphasis on past positives as well as recent negatives.  I added the article to my watch list and will do my best to ensure it never becomes an attack article

Tennet is described in dozens of books and hundreds of articles as a leading expert on addiction and drug abuse, rather frequently as the "foremost" in the nation or a similar superlative.

While I didn't see any biographical articles about him, the extent of his high profile professional career easily establishes notability. Quoting from , "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources
