His "worthiness" for having a biography at all is that he is exactly that: |

- He has patients referred to him from all over the world to be treated by him (that claim is not made in the article, obviously because of medical privacy issues it cannot be substantiated) |

This page has been noted for potential deletion as an advertisement and the claim is that it is written like one. I am surprised by that designation, as I know the NPOV guidelines and try to follow them religiously.
I did catch a couple of things that could be construed as "bragging" - leading etc. - some not even said about Dr. Turek but about organizations he belongs to - and removed all of them except this one in line 1 under Medical Background - "one of the world's leading male fertility experts." Given that the man has published 175 papers (several of which were done this year), invented FNA Sperm Mapping and several other techniques, ran UCSF's men's health clinic for something like 15 years, is a regular expert on men's health on ABC-7/San Francisco's "The View from the Bay", and has been interviewed or had segments about his work on ABC WOrld News Tonight, CNN, 20/20, PBS, The Economist (most of which you can actually see and determine how important they are by going to the clinic's web site), I did not think any further proof of that statement would be needed.
His "worthiness" for having a biography at all is that he is exactly that:
- He is one of the top people in the field as recognized by his peers worldwide (some of whom are noted in the article and who I could get to confirm this somehow...how would I do that without actually turning it into the advertisement it isn't supposed to be?)
- He has patients referred to him from all over the world to be treated by him (that claim is not made in the article, obviously because of medical privacy issues it cannot be substantiated)
- He is a media personality in the San Francisco Bay Area
- He is interviewed by all the major national media outlets when news around men's health breaks.
As for everything else in the article:
a. They are easily verifiable facts, some of which are footnoted in the article. I can't believe you would make me footnote every Board Designation, membership, or educational item. If you want a footnote, I could point to his LinkedIn page.
b. Research is all quoted extensively and in the original sources - this cannot be disputed.
So I can't figure out why you would claim this is an advertisement.
Please be as clear as possible as to what I need to do to remove the "stigma" that this article is an advertisement.
