This is an article on an anti-vaccine activist (not that you'd know it from the content). It has two sources: a crank MMR-autism advocacy group and a notice of the retraction of his only well-known paper. It's a massive WP:BLP problem, it might just be OK as an article on the so-called "CDC whistleblower" hoax, which formed part of a slightly notable film by disgraced former doctor and research fraudster Andrew Wakefield.

Keep at best as I'm convinced by DGG's analysis. Delete at best and I can see this is questionable overall especially since my searches only found expected coverage. Not all yet convincing. Asking DGG for analysis.SwisterTwistertalk 23:21, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's ambiguous what "this is questionable" and "expected coverage" specifically refers to above. North America1000 12:57, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable under WP:PROF on the basis of his publication record in conventional work. Clement TP, Sun Y, Hooker BS, Petersen JN. "Modeling multispecies reactive transport in ground water." Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation. 1998 May 1;18(2):79-92. has 242 cites in Google Scholar [1]; T. P. Clement, B. S. Hooker, R. S. Skeen "Macroscopic Models for Predicting Changes in Saturated Porous Media Properties Caused by Microbial Growth" has 182; Dai Z, Hooker BS, Anderson DB, Thomas SR. "Expression of Acidothermus cellulolyticus endoglucanase E1 in transgenic tobacco: biochemical characteristics and physiological effects" Transgenic Research. 2000 Feb 1;9(1):43-54 has 92; h=22. I am unclear to to what extent he may be notable as a vaccine denialis, but I think it should be mentioned more prominently in the paper. I do not see any BLP problem, and I would like Guy to specify exactly what it is. . DGG ( talk ) 01:45, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
