Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Busby
On one hand, most of the  criteria do not seem to be satisfied. Little evidence of substantial citability of his scholarly work in GoogleScholarhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Chris+Busby%22 (top citation hits 18, 17, 15) and GoogleBookshttp://books.google.com/books?tab=sp&sa=N&hl=en&lr=&q=%22Chris+Busby%22 (the latter has quite a few false positives). I also did a Scopus search and the results there are even smaller. On the other hand, GoogleNews results, even after filtering, are substantial, 132 hitshttp://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22Chris+Busby%22+radiation. All of them provide nontrivial coverage of him, although none appear to provide in-depth coverage of him personally. However, in a number of these newsarticles he is featured quite prominently, such as this BBC report, which is primarily about himhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1422130.stm. A few quotes from the newsarticles in this googlenews search:"Dr Chris Busby, a leading expert on low-level radiation"http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/WO0306/S00109.htm, "a top radiation scientist, Chris Busby"http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2006/820/re72.htm, "An international expert on low level radiation, Busby"http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m21056&l=i&size=1&hd=0. Apparently some of his activism in Britain produced quite a bit of a splash and even something of a sensation, as these reports showhttp://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-121698678.html?refid=gg_x_02http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1422130.stmhttp://www.sundayherald.com/news/heraldnews/display.var.1460572.0.sturgeon_pressed_to_release_secret_nhs_cancer_files.php?act=loginhttp://www.greenleft.org.au/1996/244/13666http://results.factiva.com/index/index.aspx?ref=FWDP000020051102e1b100012.  In view of the number of sources and the fact that the coverage they provide is nontrivial, I think that this does pass , albeit weakly (weakly since these articles generally don't discuss Busby as a person). One could also make an argument for passing criterion 7 of :"The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity" (my least favorite portion of , but still). As note number 14 in  says, "Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area." That appears to be the case here
