This guy doesn't really have any notable coverage. Sure he takes photos that appear in magazines, but don't a lot of other people? I also feel as though he wrote his own article based on the overspecificness of some of the details involved. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 06:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Mild delete - notability not established. I'd change my mind if that were fixed, however. &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 06:11, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Pure Vanispamcruftisement created by a single-purpose account … article lacks attribution to verify WP:BIO or WP:BLP notability criteria, let alone WP:GNG … the "References" are just a collection of self-published sources. Happy Editing! &mdash;  09:30, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not seeing notability here. No significant coverage found.--Michig (talk) 10:30, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete nothing in gnews . LibStar (talk) 13:34, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage. Joe Chill (talk) 15:21, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - I gave it a cleanup when it was first posted, but it appears to fail WP:CREATIVE, with no significant coverage from WP:RS, either online or in his online press clippings. Top Jim (talk) 17:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable. Fails WP:GNG and the article as it stands is indeed pure vanispamcruftisement. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:14, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - although most of the article centers on his photography work, there is one line where it's claimed he was a co-developer of the Transputer. I can find nothing online supporting this, and the article's creator reverted my attempts to tag that line for citations twice. If evidence for that can be found, then that is certainly notable, and the parts about his current career could be trimmed down. Top Jim (talk) 19:34, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking at what the internet has to say David May (computer scientist) has been heralded as the project's inventor. Carl might have worked on the project but he sure as heck didn't play a crucial role. Also, the fact that the user keeps removing citation tags makes me think that the user either knows that they are lying or are trying to hide the truth surrounding that fact.

 * Deletion of unspecified strength. There seems to be an implication above that a contemporary photographer of any significance should appear in Google News: I'd dispute that. Problem is, I can't see any other sign of particular significance. -- Hoary (talk) 02:36, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
