Salvatore Pacella

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to be autobiographical, an article about a well-regarded plastic surgeon. However, the notability rests on a local news article in 2011 and some very minor awards (for example the "Top Doc" awards went to 749 recipients in 2013). Well done for providing free services to charity, but the news article also points out he is one of 600 surgeons in San Diego alone to help the charity. Seems to be an excellent surgeon but Wikipedia isn't a listings service for California plastic surgery. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 11:47, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, agree with nom and above that article fails WP:GNG. Neil916 (Talk) 06:49, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * UPDATE, I have added more information to this page. The article is no longer an orphan - it has been linked to several other articles. The article has also been placed in many specific categories. There have also been new references added to support Dr. Pacella's notability. Please advise on how to move forward. Thank you. InnoWikipedia (Talk) 12:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I have looked at the two references that were added and in my opinion they do not help to establish the notability of the article subject per WP:GNG.  The subject should have several non-trivial references from an independent source.  A list of publications by the subject doesn't meet that standard, nor does a directory of participants in a project.  Neil916 (Talk) 18:02, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
