PROD removal

[edit]

I've removed the proposed deletion tag on this article; a few months back, I did some cleanup and expansion on this after thinking myself that it might be proddable. It would appear from the Google Scholar results I linked to at the bottom of the page that the subject is, in fact, notable and should pass WP:PROF for his body of work and the awards received. Apologies if it reads like vanity; I'm certainly not the subject, I know that much - I stumbled over this article through the random article link and decided it needed fixing.

I dunno, he published some papers but doesn't seem to fir the WP:PROF that I can tell --AW 23:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think my consideration is that his book "The Mask of Shame" is cited by quite a few other authors and has been reprinted numerous times over the years. Here's a Google Scholar link of the cites to that book. He's also got several other books that aren't quite as established, and is apparently still writing these days. I think that fits criteria 3 and 4. Tony Fox (arf!) 00:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have added the count of papers from PubMed (a free database), and the citation counts for papers and books from Web of Science, a more complete source than Google Scholar for anything pre-1998, if one has access. The number of books is more than sufficient for N, especially considering the number of citations. The number of papers is also more than enough even considered separately from the books. Unfortunately his career was before the era of google, but that does not make him less notable. The translations prove international repute, the many eds. prove wide-spread use.

Just weighing in 15 months later. I read an article by Wurmser in a compendium of the Annals of the New York Academy of Science titled 'Opiates in Mental Illness,' published 1980. It piqueued my interest enough to look it up and I was pleased but surprised to find an article. I do admit it's a little too much like a resume, but such is the nature of an article on this subject just like a stub on a chemical is going to read like a chart. I'm glad it was kept and if I can find some relevant places to link to it, I will do so. However, someone like Wurmser I think is more likely that the article is searched for than stumbled upon through wikibrowsing, so its orphan status is not as important as the article itself.
