[edit]

Removing all the sources and then proposing deletion because there are no sources is not how it's done. Binksternet (talk) 05:55, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. As I wrote on the fringe noticeboard, the article hadn't been edited for nearly a year. I then made edits to remove a reference to a defunct and non-notable Huffington Post column (such content was well-known as fringe) and being a "Castle Connolly top doctor" (which is also not notable and considered a scam by some).
Which sources are you proposing to keep? What do you propose? There doesn't seem to be good sources and notability to support an article for this individual. ScienceFlyer (talk) 08:26, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, having looked at the article in the state it was in before ScienceFlyer's latest edits, I'm astonished that someone with Binksternet's long editing experience would think that the article was appropriately sourced, or did anything to establish notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

I have added three reliable sources that verify Leo Galland is a New-York based internist, and removed the PROD. Whether he meets independent notability is a different issue, and a discussion that should be had at WP:AFD. --Animalparty! (talk) 20:24, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While the AfD is ongoing, I place here an incomplete, partially annotated list of sources that cover Galland and/or his books, research, and practice, for possible future expansion. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:57, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But in his just-published new book, The Four Pillars of Healing (Random House), Galland, 54, makes a passionate case for the fusion of alternative and conventional medicine."}}

(Extensive analysis of Gallard's The Four Pillars of Healing, e.g.: I begin with a model of healing developed by a leading New York based practitioner of allopathic medicine, Leo Galland. Galland has specialised in treating patients who are at wit's end, that is, their treatment by other physicians has proved to little or no avail and they come to him as a "last resort"... Galland, however, has developed a model of diagnosis that attempts to put the patient back into the picture of health care. Following a summary of Galland's model of diagnosis, I will suggest how treatment protocols of some medical practitioners in the present appear to be responsive to the emphases of his diagnostic model... Galland has done us the service of setting out a "big picture" that portrays how the patient, "eclipsed" from most contemporary allopathy, can be put back into the picture of health and healing... Galland espouses traditional biomedical assumptions about medicine as premised mostly upon rationalism and Darwinism (and, to a lesser degree, empiricism).)
