No RS's to pass GNG or PROF. Long tagged with multiple issues. Searches reveal only SPS's and brief mentions. Barcaboy2 ( talk) 12:44, 24 May 2016 (UTC) reply

I've tried searching ( https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=%22dan%20karasic%22), but find only generic profiles, such as LinkedIn and WebMD. He has been quoted in some reliable media outlets, but none says he himself has "made significant impact" (so no PROF-1). Nor does has any article been coverage or an article about him (so, no GNG). He was an officer in a small group (for LGBT psychiatrists), but nothing that could be called a "a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association" (no PROF-3) or any "major academic society" (no PROF-6). He co-edited a book, but nothing like an entire journal (no PROF-8). He has belonged to groups that work to make a "substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity," but I can't find any RS that says that he himself has (no PROF-7). For GNG, again, he has been quoted in some RS's, but nothing with "significant coverage" of him. Barcaboy2 ( talk) 13:03, 24 May 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Per Barcaboy's indepth analysis of why he does not meet any of the listed ways to qualify for an academic. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 02:15, 30 May 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Per above. NOTE TO CLOSING EDITOR: There also appears to be a deletion "vote" that was put the page instead of here. — James Cantor ( talk) 20:08, 30 May 2016 (UTC) reply
