This is not really an article - this is more like an advertisement for this surgeon's private practice website. Perhaps he should be listed under "Notable Plastic Surgeons", but little about his achievements merits such a wiki.

His private practice website is not listed on this page. As for being notable, he is at least much more notable than hundreds of F-List movie star which Wikipedia is over-populated with, and yet there are no qualms made about many of them. Dr. Yaremchuk is the Chief of Craniofacial Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, a professor at Harvard, well discussed across radio, print, online and television portals and is a world traveling speaker on the subject of plastic surgery. I do believe it reads somewhat like an advertisement though. I've tried to make suitable changes and I encourage anyone to make any necessary changes to make the article wiki-worthy. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisdmedia (talk • contribs) 15:03, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - His only claim to fame really is an article he wrote about cycling being too dangerous for older folks. Nothing else, really, and seeing as many doctors write single articles, nothing is notable. 71.241.180.60 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:58, 17 August 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I just nominated this for speedy deletion. I just want to note that almost all references are to papers written by the subject. Free Bullets (talk) 01:24, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Here are some sources I dug up on a trawl through Highbeam. They do not really contribute to GNG but can be used to expand the article since he is notable per PROF#C1.

Vickman, Anne (19 August 2012). "About Face ; If a Prefab Chin Doesn't Suit You, Try the 'Bespoke' Version.; the Makeover Issue: Medicine". Boston Globe. It may come as a surprise to some that facial implants are a lot like off-the-rack suits: Finding the perfect fit can be a challenge. But thanks to 3-D imaging technology historically reserved for patients with deformities or injuries, Dr. Michael Yaremchuk, chief of craniofacial surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, is now offering all plastic surgery patients customizable implants for chins, cheeks, and jaws. – via HighBeam (subscription required)

Note there are lots of these press releases mentioning his work. This is how university departments announce new research findings and accomplishments so while promotonal they are not self promotional and may have some interesting information about what research he has done that the university sees as significant.

"Harvard Plastic Surgery Residency Training program". Dr. Julian Pribaz was the Program Director from its inception until July 2010 when Dr. Michael Yaremchuck was appointed.

Indrinsano, Ron (22 January 2004). "Thornton to have surgery". Boston Globe. Bruins leading scorer Joe Thornton, who suffered a fractured right cheekbone in a fight with Eric Lindros of the New York Rangers Monday, will have surgery today to stabilize the cheekbone, and will miss at least tonight's game at the FleetCenter against the Buffalo Sabres. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Michael Yaremchuk at Massachusetts General Hospital. – via HighBeam (subscription required)
