Hello AngusWOOF. Thank you for you quick feedback and your request for me to reformat the draft article with refence to the WP:NACADEMIC criteria. As a novice Wikipedia contributor your expert help is really helpful. I have made every effort to be independent and transparent but I can see that I should remove the bullet points without citations in order to address your comment about it reading too much like a resume profile.

In terms of the criteria for Academics, here is the evidence:

1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.

Visiting Professorships to the Universities of Cairo, Gothenburg, Isfahan, Kentucky, Kuala Lumpur, London, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Florida, Shiraz, Singapore, Texas and Wellington.

5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.

Professor Emeritus in Orthopaedic and Accident Surgery at Nottingham University

6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.

President of the British Orthopaedic Association in 1995

I appreciate that the Significant Coverage definition for Notability is fairly subjective, so I have made direct comparisons with two of his professional peers for whom there are existing Wikipedia articles: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Angus_Wallace and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Sean_P._F._Hughes As you may not be familiar with the field of surgery, I expect that these precedents will be useful for reassessing the approval of Chris Colton's article. Hopefully I have responded to all of your feedback points and I will reformat the article accordingly and resubmit it for your consideration. Thank you.

It’s not my area of expertise, but I think, when cited, these will meet the need. KJP1 (talk) 18:43, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cites

Needs way more cites. Many of the sections/para.s are uncited. KJP1 (talk) 18:42, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you KJP1. I have added multiple citations from reliable sources (where you marked that they were needed) and also removed a couple of statements without suitable citations. Appreciate your feedback and time Douglal (talk) 22:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
