An unsourced BLP and a WP:PROMO article on an unremarkable plastic surgeon. What comes up is from tabloid-like sources link, plus self promotion. Created by Special:Contributions/Paullonsford with few other contributions. The subject appeared in a few shows, but this does not overcome lack of independent sources.

 * delete fails GNG. NYT has one hit (where he says useful things about the bad things that happen due to Oprah hyping Thermage); nothing at WSJ; nothing at LA Times; did a google search found lots of trashy stuff like his TMZ profile and this write up in a Plastic Surgery Practice trade rag.  Pubmed search are mostly things he seems to have published as a resident.  Jytdog (talk) 01:15, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Alhough there are many mentions in WP:RSs, there are no sources that discuss him biographically as a primary subject. Thus, he still fails WP:GNG.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:31, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. "featured in" as used in this promotional article (and similar articles) does not actually bmean was a mjor figure  in a show, but rather is deceptive PR jargon for "appeared in one or more times" Not notable.  DGG ( talk ) 02:35, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Much of the material seems to have been put in the article to promote the person than to provide encyclopedic knowledge. Add to that the lack of sources in a significant portion of the article. The subject has written or co-authored many papers and is possible qualifying on WP:AUTHOR as he is widely cited by his peers. But someone would have to possibly source all these citations and place them in the article in an appropriate manner to make a good case. Lourdes  00:44, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
