Below are some links that might lead to reliable sources giving substantial coverage and clearly demonstrating the subject is notable:

Hello JFHJr. Vivian de Buffrénil is one of the few (perhaps 5 or 6) leaders in bone histological research. I certainly thinks that he deserves a page on Wikipedia. I have a biographical page myself, and I have learned a lot about bone histology through him. I have added some additional sources, but please note that in natural sciences, we rely a lot more on primary sources than in other fields, and primary sources are deemed to be the most reliable.
