Comment: Non-notable supporter of fringe medicine. Article does not satisfy . Most of the sources are either written by Baylock himself, or are only a passing mention, which does not satisfy . &mdash

Comment: Blaylock has made substantial impact outside academia in his academic capacity - one of the conditions listed at  which requires only one of the list be satisfied. Very strong agreement with HarryZilber's comments about editors having issued damnatio memoriae without cause

Comment: the standard per  is higher than simply having been quoted in newspapers; I'm unable to see a criterion there that he meets.  That leaves the general provisions of , however, which he appears to fulfill - "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." I see significant coverage in the Chicago Tribune, CBN News, and other news outlets, none of which are obviously unreliable, so as potentially fringe as this fellow is, he falls within the notability guidelines

Comment: I disagree with the fringe music of the numerous garage bands that have articles describing them in Wikipedia (in the thousands), but that doesn't give me or anyone else the privilege to declare them damnatio memoriae in this work. Blaylock's views may not be mainstream, but the fact that both he and his works have been quoted in the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star (listed as http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2001/092001/09102001/375784| reference #8 in the article), and also in the Chicago Tribune (http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/24093566.html?dids=24093566:24093566&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jul+28%2C+1994&author=Steven+Pratt%2C+Tribune+Staff+Writer.&pub=Chicago+Tribune+%28pre-1997+Fulltext%29&desc=FLAVOR-ENHANCING+MSG+IS+EVERYWHERE%2C+BUT+IS+IT+HARMLESS+OR+AN+%22EXCITOTOXIN%22%3F&pqatl=google reference #4 in the same article) is more that enough to establish him as a serious subject; as such I dispute your notion that none of his article's citations are |reliable.  Hence, I declare Russell Blaylock a notable subject

Comment: The first three citations say it all - they rebut Blaylock's theses without mentioning him in particular. Writing for NewsMax and JPANDS similarly confer no |notability. His books have received some attention (''e.g.'' http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_4_8/ai_111303987/ this review in the Alternative Medicine Review), but I have not found any particular evidence of impact. The media appearances come closer, but they honestly are just a step above |self-published. Given that this is a |biography of a living person, it is especially crucial that we use solely in depth high quality independent sources
