The subject of this article has not itself received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Also, it has been tagged as non-notable for nearly two years. --2604:2000:E016:A700:951:D485:DE63:C416 (talk)

 * delete celebrity doctor wannabe. WP cannot be part of their efforts when they fail GNG like this person does. Jytdog (talk) 23:57, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep delete — This subject is problematic because she has been extensively quoted in reliable media (14 NYT mentions, for example) but no major coverage about her. NYT also carried an obit that appeared to be about her father, a New Jersey budget official; and Wall Street Journal has mentioned her in connection with her being appointed to the governig board of Valeant in a corporate shakeup; but everything else that turned up in searches was quoting her expertise, or interviewing her, so not technically an independent source. There is also a Duke University interview with her on her experiences at Duke as a Jewish student. She probably would qualify as a celebrity doctor, having the endorsements of Dr. Oz, Oprah and Seventeen Magazine, but the problem is lack of secondary sources about her. I lean toward keeping it because she is the author of a popular book, The Mind Beauty Connection, and I think there is enough to support at least a revised stub/start article. I also think this subject is more of interest to female readers, not so much to our 85 to 90% male editors... Cheers! — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 19:19, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Changed my mind after a more thorough search for reviews of her book — no independent RS there, either. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 20:47, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Note: This AfD debate has been listed on the Medicine/Dermatology task force talk page and the Medicine/Psychiatry task force talk page.
 * Weak delete - I see zero significant coverage about the subject. There must be hundreds of skin doctors in New York City, with dozens of associated dermatologists at Columbia Presbyterian and 36 clinical dermatologists at Mount Sinai alone. She's academically unknown. I admit that she might pass as a celebrity per WP:GNG, but I'd like to see better sourcing added to the article before I go along with such a consensus.

 * Delete: Per nom and above rationale. Fails WP:GNG. GauchoDude (talk) 17:19, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
