Author claims notability but has not provided reliable tertiary sources to back it up. GSearch returns mostly references to the subject's plastic surgery business, which leads me to believe this is a case of promotion. §FreeRangeFrog 02:34, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per lack of sources. It is possible that he might be an innovator in non surgical nose-jobs, but artificial collagen injection has been around for awhile, and Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants does have some claim in Los Angeles to non-surgical nose-job innovator status. Also, "assistant clinical instructor" doesn't give one a warm feeling with regard to notability as an academic. --Bejnar (talk) 08:18, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Virtually all professors at major universities like UCLA have had solid careers, but not necessarily notable ones. This person needs solid, quality third-party independent sources to warrant notability. --Bobak (talk) 19:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: not particularly notable. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 06:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Do Not delete: quite notable, actually -- This guy was the first one to do this nose procedure. Check out the dates of the appearances on his You Tube videos. The only other ones I see is a guy named Rokhsar and a guy named Simoni, and their appearances are later. I do not see any evidence of Grigoryants doing this procedure at all, much less innovating it. I put the citations in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparkzilla99 (talk • contribs) 07:46, 12 February 2009 (UTC) — Sparkzilla99 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
