Jason Diamond
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A plastic surgeon that generates a lot of publicity due to prior participation in a TV show. Two AfDs closed as no consensus.

I've reviewed the sources presented at the AfD and I do not find the coverage substantial to warrant an encyclopedia entry. Many are based on self-promotional interviews, as in:
 * ""For that week, I literally had people waiting until 2am for a consultation. The waiting room was filled 20 people-deep all day long," he recalls."

I believe it's a good time to revisit. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:21, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Notability does not go away with time. Two previous AFDs left it as a keep, so a third is not needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:53, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Note -- both the 2014 & 2016 AfDs closed as "No consensus", not as a "Keep". K.e.coffman (talk) 03:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes: "Dr. Jason Diamond wasn't aware that his E! reality TV series Dr. 90210 was being aired on the other side of the planet. That is, until patients began arriving at his Beverly Hills office from all different parts of the Middle East. A facial specialist, Diamond was one of a group of prominent plastic surgeons featured on the show from 2005 through 2008. His new clientele included members of some of the most powerful and wealthiest Arab families in the world, including royalty from different countries in the region. They all wanted him to perform plastic surgery. Diamond treated these patients in the United States initially. Over time, though, they began to ask if he'd be willing to travel to provide his services for them and their families at home. Eventually he decided to give it a shot. It took a year to get his license there and to settle on a medical facility where he could operate, but he eventually settled at The American British Surgical and Medical Centre in Dubai, founded by British plastic surgeon Mendy Kahn."  The article notes: "Dr. 90210 began titillating American viewers in 2004 with its salacious, sometimes gruesome look at the physical transformations of Beverly Hills' beauty-obsessed denizens through breast implants, reductions, face-lifts, rhinoplasties, liposuction and whitened smiles. Its tagline: 'If you weren't born with it, buy it.' After the E! show went dark in the U.S. in 2008, it continued to air in 22 other countries, including the United Arab Emirates. As a result, its stars have become hugely in-demand surgeons, with all of the attendant hoopla -- and additional business -- that comes with fame. 'Anyone who has any kind of media exposure here is considered an A-list celebrity, not just a reality TV asshole,' says Jason Diamond, Dr. 90210's former facial expert. He also is the ringleader of a 90210 plastic-surgeon posse that is part of a lucrative partnership with the American British Surgical & Medical Centre, a facility that brings U.S. and U.K. doctors to the Middle East, located on Abu Bakr Al Siddique Road in Dubai's Deira district. After being approached by the ABSAMC, Diamond, who specializes in noses and face-lifts, brought in other former 90210 docs including Kevin Sands, the Kardashians' family dentist who also has created winning grins for Charlie Sheen, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr. and Britney Spears."  The article notes: "Dr. Jason Diamond knows what it's like to be sought after. The Beverly Hills plastic surgeon -- first made famous by reality show 'Dr. 90210' -- has operated on a range of A-list celebrities (though he declines to name them). Yet even he was unprepared for the clamor that met him when he first visited Dubai in what was meant to be a one-time gig as a guest surgeon. 'For that week, I literally had people waiting until 2am for a consultation. The waiting room was filled 20 people-deep all day long,' he recalls. That was in 2009. Since, Diamond has returned to the city every two to three months as part of a partnership with the American British Surgical and Medical Centre. Over the years, he has enlisted the Who's Who of Beverly Hills surgeons to join him at the practice."  This article quotes Diamond extensively.   The article notes: "A renowned plastic surgeon and reality TV star from the famous ‘Dr 90210’ show, Dr Jason Diamond, has chosen Dubai as his first overseas destination upon huge demand. The plastic surgeon, who currently practises in Beverly Hills and says he has treated Arab royalty, is expected to complete his licensing formalities in Dubai by next week and start practising at the American British Surgical and Medical Centre by November. ... Dr Jason’s stay in Dubai each month will depend on the number of procedures he is performing for duration of 10 days after the last patient has been operated upon."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Jason Diamond to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep. A California plastic surgeon can be a V.I.P., can have revenues bigger than some countries, is economically, socially, entertainmently and otherwise significant.  A Beverly Hills one is even more important.  And they had a TV show!  Keep.  And per Graeme Bartlett, keep.  And per Cunard, keep. -- do  ncr  am  05:07, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

 * delete just another semi-celebrity doctor. This is just an advertisement, not a NPOV WP article. And it only can be advertisement b/c there are insufficient independent RS with significant discussion of this person. Yes a lot of surgeons are rich.  Doesn't make them notable.  Very strange arguments being made here. Jytdog (talk) 05:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep The sources provided are reliable and verifiable and provide the type of broad coverage that establishes notability. Alansohn (talk) 02:42, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ping participants of the prior AfDs: to help reach a consensus. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:05, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Essentially advertising. NOT ADVOCACY is a mouch more basic criterion than problems about notability--if it's advertising ,we shouldn't even be considering it. The sources are also advertising, as the quotes from them above makes obvious.  DGG ( talk ) 02:14, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Exceptional claims require exceptional sources and no sources have been provided to demonstrate that The Atlantic, The Hollywood Reporter, or CNN are publishing advertising about Jason Diamond. Cunard (talk) 03:32, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * we judge the reliability of sources by examining them. using our judgment. It's not like writing an article, that needs references. If the Atlantic writes an advertorial, like the one here, judge what it is by reading it. DGG ( talk ) 04:50, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Dr. 90210. All notability is related to his appearance on the show, and I agree everything else appears to be advertorial. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:38, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Claims of advocacy is an opinion I can't understand. The article has been written by and gone over by many veteran editors with no connection to the doctor. No one here is advertising for or on behalf of the doctor. Nor is there evidence the sources themselves are not independent. --  Green  C  15:47, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep because of all the prior keep arguments which are better than the delete !votes.  d.g. L3X1  (distant write)  18:29, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dr. 90210. While sources have been found, they all stem from the show. All 5 of the above examples deal with his relation to the tv show, absent that relationship, he gets written about in zero of those articles. Without the show, he has no independent notability.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 11:19, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: The sources do not stem from the TV show Dr. 90210, which ran from 2004 to 2008. Four articles cited above were published in 2010, 2013, 2013, and 2014. The articles stem from his work as a plastic surgeon in the Middle East in Dubai. The articles discuss how he previously appeared on the TV show. That the articles were published years after the TV show ended and are focused on his plastic surgeon work in Dubai indicates that it would not editorially make sense to redirect his article to Dr. 90210, which per Neutral point of view would be unable to cover his Dubai work. Cunard (talk) 06:41, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dr. 90210 or Delete - Onel5969 really nailed it, he has no SIGNIFICANT coverage outside of that show. The rest is just self-promotion and brief mentions. LAroboGuy (talk) 23:21, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
