Clayton James Cubitt
Phewww! Did somebody open up a big can o' Promotchurass? Something in here really stinks of it. Could it be the tone of the article, or that his personal site & WP are hits 1-3 on Google, or the effective-self-promoter feel of other hits, or the not quite 3500 hits on
 * "Clayton James Cubitt"

-- wait, no, "146 of about 3,490"? In any case, for n-n & apparent self-promo, nominated and vote of Del. --Jerzy·t 2005 July 7 22:02 (UTC)
 * Keep. First of all, the person who posted the article orginally also posted 8 or 9 other articles on other photographers, so I doubt that at least originally the article was self promotion.  As to the subsequent edits, who knows.  Regardless, I followed several of the links and it does seem that he is a relatively notable photographer.  I don't know what number of Google hits should be expected from a fashion photographer, but it seems that the quality of the links was pretty good (not Wikipedia mirrors or link farms but real sites and blogs).

 * Comment Those who consider the content relevant evidence of the intent to self promote will want to check the article history since VfD-tagging, since two anon IPs working 5 min apart have since contributed by dialing back the gushing.
