While there are a few hits on the internets for this subject, I'm going to propose he's not notable enough for inclusion here. The article is a BLP nightmare (check the history, and see where I removed false accusations and unverified claims to fame), and I just don't think Dan-E and whatever else he's responsible for is that notable.

 * Delete. I don't see anything about him that meets WP:BASIC. He's a cosmetic surgeon in Florida. Even his own website, http://www.steinmed.com/, on which he claims he is the "best cosmetic surgeon in Tampa, FL" offers nothing additional to pass WP:ANYBIO or WP:PROF. --Crunch (talk) 13:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, delete, delete He is trained as an OB/GYN but his career is in cosmetic surgery - things like face lifts, eyelid repairs, liposuction etc. Many of the claims in the article are not supported by the references. He claims to be a "member" of the American Board of Laser Surgery, but the reference lists him as merely a certificate holder, not a member of the governing Board. He claims a past association with the University of Florida, but the reference provided is self-referential. Google News Archive turns up mainly instances of people suing him. Amazon  lists his book but doesn't name any publisher (self published, ya think?) and ranks it somewhere below three millionth in sales volume. --MelanieN (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete this WP:SPAM. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 06:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The best source for this article is a local newspaper that describes a community business award won by Stein, i.e. a "Tampa Bay Business Journal 2008 Health Care Hero" award – clearly not enough. Most of the rest of the "sources" are not WP:RS, for example his website. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2011 (UTC).
