- Speedy keep Sorry to go against the subject's wishes, but Spandidos is editor-in-chief of several academic journals in good standing, making him clearly notable under WP:ACADEMIC. In addition, according to GS he is very highly cited (h-index above 60), another clear meet of ACADEMIC. --Randykitty (talk) 09:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

- Speedy keep per WP:OWN. PhantomTech (talk) 21:59, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. The article contains a very serious attack on Spandidos, sourced only to a brief Chicago Tribune article. This should either be removed, or better sourcing added, per WP:BLP. -- 120.17.0.168 (talk) 22:06, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- It looks like the next sentence shows Spandidos did nothing wrong so all together the paragraph is not an attack on Spandidos. That said, it might still be a BLP issue for Weinberg if it is improperly sourced. PhantomTech (talk) 00:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- There can be no doubt that Spendidos is notable, and unfortunately for him, there was more about the 1978 controversy than this Weinberg dispute, see this and this. The article therefore gets a weak keep from me, although it should be noted that it is very deficient and should be expanded to cover all aspects of his biography in WP:DUE weight. --PanchoS (talk) 05:04, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
