- Delete First off, well done to this chap for making it head of a top-5 med school in the world, at such a relatively young age. That being said, the sources cited don't meet GNG, and as for NACADEMIC notability, I don't think his ICSM headship is enough to satisfy #6, or the FRCP to satisfy #3, and I don't see anything else there. (Happy to be proven wrong on either count, of course.) As a side note, this still stinks of promo, and IMO those Amazon links should be removed (unless we're now earning affiliate royalties!), and I'm not happy about the likely COI/UPE either, but none of those are the reasons for my !vote. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:02, 2 May 2022 (UTC)]

- Apologies. I meant #6. "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society." Which he indisputably has. Although it may appear to come under Imperial College, London medical schools have always operated as effectively independent academic institutions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:51, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

- The president of Imperial College would be the highest administrative position, #6 doesn't apply to the directors of individual schools even if they operate largely independently. JoelleJay (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
