Paul Vitenas

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

BLP article about a plastic surgeon and businessman. Lead includes a direct link to his business (cosmetic surgery practice). Claim for notablity is for writing several books on plastic surgery which is only sourced with a link to the subjets web site, not to a publishing source. Second claim is for inventing surgical plates and screws which is linked to the article about another (notable) surgeon, the claim itself is unsourced. The article reads like an advertisement for his surgery practice with questionable (self)sources. Awards are from a local webzine (H Texas). Per WP:SELFSOURCE and WP:ADMASK.

 * Delete User:Lord Subro gets paid to create these articles. The subject doesn't look notable to me (judging by the current references) and it's written like an advert. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 16:08, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: There are spam links in the article, which is a major violation, so, even if the usual, impassioned defenders come along and move "snow keep," a nowiki tag needs adding several places. From the article, it appears that Dr. Vitenas worked for the "father of craniofacial" plastic surgery, which would account for the "invention" of several plates and screws (i.e. they were done for the other guy, under direction). The claims therefore boil down to a highly profitable cosmetic surgery center and recognition as a person who empowers self-image, locally. That doesn't pass the GN.
