Advice
[edit]I call your attention to our policies on Verifiability , WP:V, and Biographies of living people, WP:BLP. All information in a BLP must be sourced to a reliable source. Basic noncontroversial information such as a person's education may be taken from an official CV, but anything involving judgment must have a reference from a third-party independent reliable source, not press releases or mere announcements. In addition, material on clinical medicine, especially about the importance of any method of treatment, must meet the special sourcing requirements of WP:MEDRS. Any claim to be the first in anything is especially in need of a high quality source,
The articles you have been writing about surgeons do not have reliable third party references, although they do have extensive praise of the subjects. This is not acceptable. There are three options: First, you can fix the articles by adding sources and removing puffery as well as material for which you can not find acceptable sources; as you are currently active, you should be able to do this within the next few days. Second, I can fix them myself, which I shall do much more simply by removing all inadequately sourced material, as is permitted --indeed, as is required, for BLPs. You could later restore material for which there are sources. Third, if I think the remaining material is not sufficient to prove notability by wither of the guidelines WP:BIO or WP:PROF, or if I think the article is so inherently promotional that it is not worth fixing, I can list it for deletion.
In rewriting, please be aware that the proof of notability by WP:PROF is highly cited peer-reviewed articles, not numbers of articles, or major prizes at a national level, not student or in-house awards. Being editor in chief of a journal shows notability also, but being a member of an editorial board is not even significant. Being listed in a "best-doctors" list is advertising, not notability, and should be removed.
It is possible that I also need to remind you about our rules on WP:Conflict of Interest. If there should be any financial COI, then I must ask you to declare it according to our our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure.
