non-notable individual. I can find no coverage of "Cristiano Buonarroti Gallo", and none of "Cristiano B Gallo" outside forums and facebook. Ironholds (talk) 23:41, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is questionable. Looks more like an advertisement, a promotion by his friend R. Duval "I have known Cristo for many years and can verify that he is an International photographer. Rene Duval. Photographer." Who is he to certify that he is notable. No third party sources or references. Conflict of interest. Jolenine  (Talk - Contribs) 00:45, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Not only is notabililty in question, the article is just an attempt at promotion (especially the second paragraph), and (one of) the author(s) appear(s) to have a Conflict of interest, referring to himself directly in the article.

http://www.cristianobuonarrotigallo.webs.com  genuine person. GREAT photographer. Please dont be so short sighted!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.41.108 (talk) 21:18, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What we meant is not just having an official website in order to be notable. Again, this website is a personal website, created by the photographer himself; we cannot consider this as a reliable source. You need to provide 3rd party sources/references. If you say that he is such a great photagrapher, than you should not have any problem in finding some on Goggle, for example. Jolenine  (Talk - Contribs) 00:13, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Having been invited (above) to look at his website, I did just that. Even if it were a reliable source (and it isn't), it contains no evidence of notability -- just five very conventional photographs, and some boasting. Delete. -- Hoary (talk) 07:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I do not know whether the subject is notable, but in this case the article fails even to assert notability. Someone who photographs rich and famous people…So? Somone who might or might not have an exhibition in the UK sometime soon…So? Ian Spackman (talk) 15:27, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability is not asserted, let alone shown. Edward321 (talk) 00:54, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
