Strong Keep. I reviewed the page here (https://web.archive.org/web/20150820164409/https:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Boxer_Wachler) There is a claim to notoriety here, in that Dr. Boxer Wachler treated the vision of Olympic gold medalist Steven Holcomb, featured in NBC news coverage (http://www.today.com/news/olympic-bobsledder-overcomes-depression-eye-disorder-create-lasting-legacy-2D11837794). This and related television coverage, establishes Dr. Boxer Wachler’s notoriety as an authority in eye surgery, specifically for keratoconus. He is also a recurring medical contributor on the national television program, The Doctors, and has appeared in segments on NBC Nightly News, Good Morning America, CNN, and in other news sources such as New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, Huffington Post. He is also a TED Fulbright Speaker (http://www.tedxfulbright2015.com/#!boxer/c1oyc)

I counted, of the 216 total sources listed (https://web.archive.org/web/20150820164409/https:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Boxer_Wachler), 10 are self-published which should be deleted:
