Talk:Leigh Wiener

Sourcing
The article has one footnote that cites an obituary in the NYT. That's enough to show that Wiener was notable -- no problem here. The obituary could be used to source other assertions within the article. Material by Wiener himself cannot be used to source claims for notability, e.g. that his photos of this or that event were reproduced in so many newspapers. -- Hoary (talk) 02:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Lists of subjects
The article has lists of celebs and others who were photographed by Wiener. No authority is provided for the items in these lists. I suppose they could be laboriously sourced by title and page: page X of issue Y of publication Z. However, even if this were done there's no obvious point here. Celebs routinely have their photos taken; photographers routinely take photos of celebs -- so what? Rather, where is the sign that people have paid attention to any of these photos?

Take this photographer, for example: it would be easy to go through his books and list the artists, politicians, businessmen etc. he'd photographed. But the article doesn't do this and instead says something about the portraits and points to where they may be found. -- Hoary (talk) 02:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
