Fails general notability criteria. Contested prod; marked as of questionable notability since Aug 2015. Only 2 of the citations given are independent reliable sources about the person and both are about a failed candidacy, so fails WP:NPOL. Bondegezou ( talk) 08:44, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delte His only potential notability is as a politician but he is not notable as such. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 01:01, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - seems to be a run-of-the-mill medical researcher and unsuccessful politician. I'm not seeing the independent coverage sufficient to pass WP:BIO; routine articles covering election candidates aren't enough. Robofish ( talk) 00:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. Politics aside, appears to have made a number of contributions and leads a research group at SGUL [1]. Won a prize in 2011. JFW | T@lk 11:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. While his political and business activities certainly don't seem notable, GScholar seems to produce two papers with over 2,000 citations each and an
h-index of just below 50 - in fact, he seems significantly important as an early researcher on HIV. Even in a high-citation field like medicine, this looks adequate to satisfy
WP:PROF#1.
