I have now expanded and corrected - and hopefully improved - the article, following the suggestions offered. If you feel these corrections are enough, please remove the notice. If not, please tell me on this page how else can the article be improved. Thank you very much. Das Baz, 21 April 2006, 11:07 AM.

Well, you've got a source from a newspaper, that seems notable to me. Homestarmy 16:10, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a newspaper, but a magazine - a distinguished and influential magazine. Das Baz, 22 April 2006, 11:56 AM.

Well, you gave me an idea - I added more data, and a second source - this time, yes, a newspaper. I shall continue to add more sources and more data about this great surgeon, as possible. Das Baz, 22 April 2006. 12:08 Noon.

With no backlinks, and the hospital where he works being a redlink, why is this specific individual notable? --Interiot 18:10, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say having the Chicago Tribune report on someone gives some sort of notability. What's the google results count for this person? Homestarmy 18:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Rivkind is one of the greatest surgeons ever. How many surgeons do you know who can revive a patient who has been shot through the heart and pronounced DOA?

I did not think it was possible before I read about Dr. Rivkind doing it.

Google results count for Avraham Rivkind: 11,100.
