In response to the notability question, I added a citation from the Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology textbook and a block quote from Mind From Body describing Semmes's hemispheric lateralization theory. Each of these books spends several paragraphs discussing the theory; they are not just passing mentions. As WP:NOTABILITY says, "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as 'academics' for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources." The two citations I just added show that Semmes meets the criterion listed at WP:ACADEMIC "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources."
I also added a new sentence citing a page-long discussion of the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test (plus another page with a figure), from the book Hansen's Disease - The Forgotten and Neglected Disease. All of these authors are independent of Semmes. Aurodea108 (talk) 23:43, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
