Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allan J Hamilton, MD
I tried to search Web of Science, but unfortuately it appears that there are several AJ Hamilton's. The publications that I think are from the subject of this article have a decent, but not stellar, citation record. One article on which he is third author out of 8 ("ENDOTOXIN-STIMULATED OPIOID PEPTIDE SECRETION - 2 SECRETORY POOLS AND FEEDBACK-CONTROL INVIVO") has been cited 157 times. His h-index is 15 and the total number of cites is only 634 (including those mentioned 157). Last publication was December 2005. On the other hand, I may have missed some articles by using the "author set" feature of WoS. DGG cites the fact that Hamilton is a "Fellow of the American College of Surgeons", but I am not sure that this is an honor that confers notability according to . As far as I can see from the article on these fellows, it just means that one has to be a good and ethical surgeon. While that is very commendable, it doesn't sound like notability to me. In all, I think I'll abstain
