  • Comment, no vote. Google gets 113 hits [1], which is a borderline pass on the Google test (see precedents). ("Santiesteban" is a possible misspelling of "Santisteban".) It does look like he's got a decent publication or two. I could go either way on this one (leaning towards delete), but I abstain. • Benc • 04:54, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • You may wish to consider that almost everyone with a PhD has a decent publication or two. Getting something published doesn't establish notability, by far. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:54, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • Although it certainly can't hurt in establishing notability, which is why I mentioned it for consideration. • Benc • 19:40, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: The Google hits given on the bogus precedents page are equally bogus as an indication of anything. We've had articles on people and things with less than 113 Google hits getting accepted and ones with far more that have been rejected. A lot of us on this list get more than 113 hits on Google.

      • Indeed, the Google test is inherently flawed — especially for relatively low hit counts — because certain subjects are more likely to appear on the web than others. The precedents page is likewise flawed as a direct result of this. Despite their flaws, both the Google test and WP:VFDP are worth at least a critical glance in situations like this — which is why I mentioned both in my comment. • Benc • 19:40, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Article is incorrectly title. I see most of the Santiesteban links referring to a baseball player. If this article is meant to refer to a doctor, it looks like Santisteban is the correct surname(Web of Knowledge finds 18 journal articles by D Santisteban, none by D Santiesteban). Although the number of articles isn't very high, some of them have over 30 citations, so it's borderline to me (no vote). If kept, this article should be moved to Daniel Santisteban.

  • Delete: no evidence of notability. Fwiw as the article is almost certainly vanity or friendly promo, I would guess the name is written correctly. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:50, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Well, I don't agree with that guess, and believe that it is an error in the title, because using a Web of Science search, I find there are no papers for a D Santiesteban with a Miami affiliation, and a number for a D or DA Santisteban, affiliated with the University of Miami, and on topics such as Addressing immigration-related separations in Hispanic families with a behavior-problem adolescent - right affiliation, right subject area. I think that's pretty damn conclusive that the surname has been spelled incorrectly. Average Earthman 08:31, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
