Article on "an American photographer and graphic artist", started by an intriguingly named user, prodded by me, and thereafter edited further, whereupon I removed my prod. The assertions of notability seem very minor, but there are two external links. Let's look at them. First, "Brian D. Oakes featured on Seahawks.com" says about Oakes, "Brian Oakes, webmaster for the Sea Hawkers website, also made a special trip from New York to watch the game." That's it. That's all it says. Secondly, "Brian D. Oakes hosts Sea Hawkers Annual Awards Dinner (as shown on Seahawkers.org" is actually shown on briandoakes.com, and says: Headlining the evening_s entertainment was Brian Oakes, a/k/a _New Yawk Seahawk,_ who hosted the event and kept the crowd in stitches with jokes and the occasional improv routine (including a brief rendition of _La Bamba_). Brian also told the story of how he became a Sea Hawker after traveling to Seattle in the fall of 2001 and presented Sea Hawkers Council President Smokey Simons with an authentic road Seahawk jersey with the name "Smokey" on the back. Brian said they chose a road jersey in the hopes to get Smokey and as many Sea Hawkers to the east coast this season for the December 19th game against the NY Jets. (Underscores ["_"] here stand for illegal characters that Firefox unsurprisingly renders as question marks on my system; Oakes' command of HTML might benefit from a refresher course.) Not yet encyclopedic material, I fear. -- Hoary (talk) 14:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
