A dentist who likely fails WP:N. Her claim to fame is "best dentist" awards from something called the "National Consumer Advisory Board" and "425 Magazine", neither of which seems to be notable, if they even exist. The press coverage cited seem to be repackaged promotional content; the "chicagotribune.com" article, for example is labeled as "This item was posted by a community contributor". This all looks like an attempt at self-promotion.  Sandstein  11:02, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: Fails WP:GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deccantrap (talk • contribs)

In the medical field, notability is a bit different. An Indian born dentist going to USA & then winning Best Dentist award in Seattle with 1000s of dentists is a pretty big thing. Especially when we think about barriers being broken for a woman. Quick look shows that 425 Magazine seems to have a significant traffic in Seattle area. The article does not seem to have any links to personal page, so it does not look like self-promotion. I had TMJ problem myself, so I appreciate Dentist with TMJ expertise & Chiropractor recognition. I am trending towards keeping it and reviewing future coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayrice5 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 17 July 2019 (UTC) — Jayrice5 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment: 425 Magazine appears to be an advertorial, not a reliable source. See . The other press coverage reads like ad copy. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 17:09, 17 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Sharma definitely doesn't pass GNG, and also doesn't seem to be covered by even Notability (doctors). I appreciate that notability standards for medical professionals may be different, but I can't find much on her that is from independent, non-advertisey sources.
