Comment: Please read WP:NPROF very carefully, then read it again. His admin posts do not count towards notability, and none of his honors are that major. His science might, but without a Scopus or Google Scholar list that is not clear. (Those would go as External links after the refs.) The WP:REFBOMB of 8 sources is not convincing.

- Comment: Not sure how he could pass WP:NACADEMIC. Nighfidelity (talk) 16:32, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NPROF) but presently it is not clear that it does. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. In short, "notability" requires reliable sources about the subject, rather than by the subject.Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid or being the subject, you must declare that on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please see WP:COI and/or WP:PAID). In instances of a conflict of interest, the review of the page needs to be handled with care, mindful of the higher bar set by pages produced in circumstances of such a conflict. Such pages typically may read too much like a promotional CV or advertorial (see WP:PROMO), which Wikipedia is not; and/or contain prose that is not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK and WP:NPV). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page.It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NPROF criteria #3, because XXXXX"). Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page, including the name of the draft page, and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere. Cabrils (talk) 01:18, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Early life
Kimberly was born in New Haven, Connecticut. He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University and studied at the University of Oxford in England as a Rhodes Scholar, where he earned undergraduate and master's degrees. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Harvard Medical School.[2][3]

At UAB, Kimberly has held several administrative roles related to clinical and translational research, including Senior Associate Dean for Clinical and Translational Research and Associate Vice President for Medicine and Biomedical Research. Kimberly’s research has examined how molecular, genetic, and immunologic factors contribute to autoimmune disease risk and progression.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][excessive citations]
Honors and recognition
- Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors[14]
- Master of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)[15]
