Michael Sieben
First of, I am not a dude. Second, the article as it was was not telling much about his notability. Shall we disect? In short, the article miserably failed to establish any claim to notability, whatsoever. And how is that my fault? Renata 06:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Michael Sieben, originally from Seguin, Texas, is a painter...
 * Ok, definition is good.
 * ... made famous for his work with skate company Toy Machine, bmx company Terrible One and Thrasher Magazine.
 * Ok, so he worked for three companies. Good, but I have also worked, and for a whole more than three companies. Famous? How famous? Who says he's famous?
 * In 1999 he graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in fine arts...
 * Graduated in 1999? Hm... Good. About a third of the U.S. population have a degree.
 * ... then started both the now defunct Camp Fig and Okay Mountain art spaces for local artists, as well as the zine Programmed from India.
 * Keywords: defunct and local. No claim to notability at all.
 * He is now designing graphics for Bueno Skateboards.
 * Oh, look, he's got the fourth company to hire him. What is he doing there? Being one of the 100's of designers there?
 * He currently resides in Austin, Texas with his wife Allison and his two cats Nathan and Josie.
 * Does it even need comments?


 * He's a painter. Who's famous. Christ.
