Carl Beebee

Self-promotion fails WP:CREATIVE. I thought it would be OK when I saw the "in 2004 Carl was awarded Flicker Magazine's 'Photographic Artist of the Year' Award" line, but I couldn't verify it - and there was very little about "Flicker Magazine" itself, so I doubt its value regardless.

 * Comment. Is that a typo for Flickr Magazine? If so it's a blog that doesn't meet our standards for inclusion. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Beebee's website (which, ahem, does have various spelling mistakes) does say "Flicker Magazine". That might be this. That page of Beebee's also quotes a review talking of "an exceptional artist at the very peak of his career", which alas implies that from now it's going to be downhill for Beebee. Hmm, this review, from the LA Independent -- in Beebee's "Critics" page (soon here too) -- is most interesting: Whilst I was wandering around this busy gallery it starts: I'd never before realized that "whilst" was part of El-Lay English. -- Hoary (talk) 01:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC) ...... PS the LA Independent does exist and has a website with a (buggy) search function: I'm told "Type either Keywords, Date or both" but on typing "beebee" am told that I need to specify a date range. Asking for anything since their example of "5/30/02" brings a timeout message, asking for anything earlier or later than 1/1/07 brings a grand total of zero (0) hits. -- Hoary (talk) 10:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as lacking a reliable source for any claim of notability. -- Hoary (talk) 10:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
