Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pediatrician(Disambiguation)
the new version of this article (as list of pediatricians), ''unless'' there's some |clearly-defined criteria for qualification. Yes, yes, incomplete lists and all that. But right now, this is a list of three seemingly random medical professionals: two "celebrity" pediatricians, and Michael Cohen (who did some pediatrics work, but who most sources seem to identify as a "physician"). Few notable medical professionals work or worked exclusively in pediatrics; what is the dividing line, then, between this article and list of physicians? Conversely, a significant percentage of notable physicians had some experience with, or impact on, pediatrics. This is especially true for historical figures before the widespread establishment of pediatrics as a specialist discipline. Soranus of Ephesus is generally best known for his writings on gynecology, but a treatise on neonatal pediatrics survives. Does that make him a pediatrician? Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi studied smallpox in children. Was he a pediatrician
