Non-notable photographer, fails WP:V; the only non-self-referential source is from a public exhibition where his name is listed in a group of artists with no other biographical information. A search on Google UK turns up no reliable sources, but a flurry of self-publishing photo sites such as Flickr, deviant ART, Myspace and the like.  Ravenswing  14:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. I apologise for the state of the Alex Boyd article. This is mainly due to my poor referencing skills. I will attempt to clean up the article this week, and make it more relevant for inclusion. Iam currently a Scottish Art Historian (University of Glasgow), who believes he is worth inclusion. Your help is of course appreciated. Ayrshirearts (talk) 14:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Certainly any evidence you can provide that he does, in fact, fulfill the criteria in WP:BIO for creative professionals is helpful.  Ravenswing  14:42, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I had originally proposed this article for deletion, but the changes to the article made today including references make this article now a weak keep. If the forthcoming exhibitions were to come off then it would be a definate keep. Jenafalt (talk) 16:57, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Can this article then be reconsidered at the end of the month? While I believe that he is notable due to working with several major label acts amongst others, as well as being praised by a leading Scottish Photographer - Harry Benson, It would be good to see if the Bucharest exhibition happens. Can the deletion notices now be removed? Please advise.
