Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marilyn K. Jones
First of all nomination makes no sense and its no surprise that the nominator has been blocked. This should fall under speedy keep but I understand the concerns of other users on this page. I have been in dental industry for a long time, infact I believe I am notable enough to have my own page, my point is that I know more about this industry than almost everyone who commented here. I will try to offer my insight on this debate. Marilyn Jones is a well known dentist not just in state of Texas but in the whole US as someone who is fighting for healthy alternatives, all by herself (atleast here in the US). According to  the number one criteria "# The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." applies to Marilyn Jones. She is the only board certified dentist and researcher who is leading the cause for a more healthy and natural dentistry which is called "Holistic dentistry". Now obviously there is a lot of debate about this approach and both parties have good arguments, its a relatively new concept so it is going to take some time before it is considered a separate branch by general public but most dentists and professionals already do. Now there a lot of dentists and scholars who label themselves as using this approach of dentistry but nobody is doing as much to promote and research this approach as Yoshiaki Omura and Marilyn Jones. These two have been doing a number of things all over the world, including symposiums and independent researches, from New York to Tokyo, as you can verify from the article itself and independent resources. Besides her active role in the research and marketing of this new approach, she is accepted to be the most notable and knowledgeable by the dentists all over the US, now ofcourse all of them have a problem accepting her new approach and crediting her research because that will destroy the core of dental business. 98% or more dental offices right now promote the use of mercury and fluoride in treatment and thats what they use in their clinics, do a little bit research on the harms and you will get a good picture of why nobody will give credibility to Marilyn Jones even when its well deserved. Now ofcourse there are some who are more concerned about their patients rather than making money and those professionals are right by her side. There are numerous authors who have tried to promote her studies. Just like who small health organizations and clubs cant fight against giant tobacco companies, she is having a hard time trying to compete with the whole dental industry and so are those authors who have published her research and those dentists who accept her approach. You can pick up a number of books on holistic dentistry or natural approach to dentistry (I wish I was at library to add the ISBN numbers here but here is one 1929661134, also mentioned in article) There are whole chapters dedicated to her studies. If you do your research, instead of leaving a one line comment here by doing a simple google search you wont deny her notability. Even based on  standards, there is already enough evidence of her notability. She is the known dentist in the 4th largest city of US, Houston and the largest state in US, Texas
