Hi folks,

Please I don't know who always unmark this article as unreviewed. I patrolled this page after creation per WP:NPP. However if you feel it's not ready for mainspace, then try AFD. If there is any issue of WP:COI, then file a case, that is due diligence. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 15:49, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

article is new enough, long enough and within policy. Hook is short enough and interesting. QPQ is not required. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for this clear article on a psychiatrist with a notable career; reaches WP:NACADEMIC through coherent body of work and professorship. DSc from a major university is a significant marker of recognition.
