although I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. (See below.) There are currently no reliable ''independent'' sources in the article which attest to the subject's notability under . None of the "awards" have verification, apart from his being elected a member of the American Ophthalmological Society. Note that the American Academy of Ophthalmology, to which virtually every American ophthamologist belongs, gives out a number of different kinds of "Honor Awards", which members can apply for themselves http://www.aao.org/about/awards/index.cfm. There is no verification that he has even received one of these, let alone which kind. The number of research papers is immaterial. What counts are commentary on and citation of these papers and his research by other academics in books or peer-reviewed journals. None has been provided. He is a clinical professor at the New Jersey Medical School, (normally not a senior, tenured position). Being a co-author of several textbooks, may count. I'll need to do more research on the degree to which they are widely used and reviewed. Note, though, that he a co-author of these books, rather than the sole author
