This article is almost entirely uncited and does not meet BLP. The subject also does not meet WP:NBIO because they do not inherit notability from being associated with the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics. Ew3234 ( talk) 02:47, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

- Weak delete. Entirely uncited, the only source is a self-source. I did a quick search on the internet and there are
nofew reliable sources about this person. There is a David Smith at the University of Michigan, who has a named professor appointment at the university, but it is unlikely to be the same person. -- TheLonelyPather ( talk) 07:45, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- A little more elaboration here. I am certain that David E Smith has published books, and that he is an adjunct prof at UCSF [1], but neither amounts to good notability. Maybe this article from the San Francisco Chronicle and this report from the UC system could establish some notability? He also got a NYTimes mention by the book he co-authored (see here). I think if someone works to rework this article, I can imagine it getting kept, but at this point I still would !vote weak delete. -- TheLonelyPather ( talk) 07:57, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
