While accomplished, there's not enough in-depth coverage of the doctor to show that they pass WP:GNG. Of the current 19 sources, 3 are primary, 5 do not even mention the doctor, and the other 11 are not in-depth enough about him as to represent WP:SIGCOV. Searches did not turn up any additional sourcing which would put him over the notability bar. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:18, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In depth at least this and this.

Eight articles in large international public media cover the doctor and quote his opinion on a number of topics of a large public interest.

Five articles that do not mention the individual cite the important information that is 100% relevant to the topics covered in the article, therefore included.

Three primary sources used only to cite the additional pieces of information, not used to establish notability. Zafir94 (talk) 00:35, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge to Weight cutting. I cannot find any significant coverage about the title subject and nothing to demonstrate notability. However, the title subject is certainly active, eg, here, and here, in the area of weight cutting (which is obviously notable). The current article is not really about Dr Patrick Golden. It is actually about (his views on, and political response to, events related to) weight cutting, and seems to me to be at least in part potentially valuable encyclopaedic content. It should be merged into Weight cutting, which definitely needs more content. Aoziwe (talk) 11:49, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Weight cutting The article deals almost entirely with the topic of weight cutting and not about the doctor himself. Merging would also improve the weight cutting article and provide additional sources. Papaursa (talk) 23:41, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
