Talk:John D. Shearer

I don't understand what makes this person notable enough to appear in WP. Can someone please post a justification in terms of WP policy? David Spector (user/talk) 15:36, 31 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm trying to figure out a related, larger question. A photographer named John Shearer, who according to this newspaper story is the son of cartoonist Ted Shearer, purportedly is a well-know Life magazine photographer who took the famed photograph of JFK Jr. saluting his father's casket in 1963. Yet the photographer whose official site is linked here was born in 1980. I'm thinking these are two separate people &mdash; the notable photographer and this photographer of questionable notability. The former is certainly worthy of a Wikipedia article. The latter, I'm not so sure. Thoughts? --Tenebrae (talk) 23:09, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
