This article appears to be exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as an encyclopedia article, rather than as an advertisement. The subject of the article is a plastic surgeon who appears to have created a Wikipedia page only to aid their verification on social media platforms.

• Delete Wikipedia is not LinkedIn. Citation profile is too unremarkable to pass WP:PROF#C1 in a medical field, and "Fellow of the American College of Surgeons" doesn't appear to be the top-of-the-top kind of recognition that WP:PROF#C3 asks for [1]. "FPRS" actually refers to a one-year position at the University of Washington [2], not a highly selective honor for lifetime achievement like WP:PROF#C3 is about. Marquis Who's Who is not an award, for goodness' sake. One thing he did (coauthoring a study that found MRSA in face-lift patients) got a Reuters story, which the article spins into multiple stories by citing a syndicated copy of it in two different ways. WP:BLP1E applies even if we are extremely generous. In short, it's vanispamcruftisement, and it needs to go. XOR'easter (talk) 21:20, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Yeah, other than that MRSA paper nothing even approaching notability. And that paper isn't enough.— rsjaffe 🗣️ 03:18, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
