Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/W. Roy Smythe
No indication of Wikipedia notability per  or , and the creator of the article and one of its main contributors is {{no ping|Smythe3}}; so, this might've been an attempt to create . The article seems to have slipped by unnoticed for the most part until it started to attract attention due to #Self-promotional autobiographical article. Even though it's been trimmed quite a bit over the past day or so, there also don't seem to be any possiblities of merging or redirecting this; so, I can't see any real benefit of keeping it without some better indication of Wikipedia notability at first glance.{{parabr}}Having posted that, it does appear that Smythe (or someone also named W. Roy Smythe) has written a number of articles for '':Discover (magazine)'' as shown http://discovermagazine.com/authors/w-roy-smythe here and also contributed to '':Encyclopædia Britannica'' (see https://www.britannica.com/contributor/W-Roy-Smythe-/7876727 here), and as been published in '':Chest (journal)'' (see https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(15)32996-2/abstract here) as well as some other peer-reviewed journals like ''American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology'' (see https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1165/ajrcmb.25.5.4539 here) and '':The Annals of Thoracic Surgery'' (see https://www.annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S0003-4975(97)00851-5/fulltext here), etc.; so, there might actually be something for someone familiar with these types of articles to work with to create at least a viable stub per  by keeping control of the  editing
