Delete. I am not finding examples of non-trivial coverage from multiple third party publications. JBsupreme ( talk ) 20:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Subject appears to be notable to me and perhaps iconic and innovative in his field, article needs expansion from an editor who is Knowledgeable in the field rather than deletion. Off2riorob (talk) 20:57, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this your own personal opinion, or can you cite sources to that effect? For the record I have searched and could only find one article but it didn't really meet WP:BIO -- if you are aware of others and would like to share them I will happily withdraw this nomination.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 21:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it's my personal opinion, from searching around and reading what I found here and there, this discussion should perhaps be added to the photography place, I will have another look around. Off2riorob (talk) 21:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found Chamberlain co-authored an image book called Nervous landscapes; he was was mentioned in American Photographer Volume 16; he was listed in Photographing: Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases. These seem like solid support for the guy. Binksternet (talk) 21:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ehm, the last is a self-reference -it is a book made by scraping WP. I fell for it once too :) -- Cycl o pia talk  21:18, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ewwww. Thanks for the warning! Binksternet (talk) 21:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I have added a bit of content and a citation of an interview with him from 2009 that has a lot of content for expansion, have a look before you comment. http://www.electronicbeats.net/Lifestyle/Features/Light-master-Dean-Chamberlain this guy is really something and clearly notable enough for an article. Off2riorob (talk) 12:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think Chamberlain is important. I put some time in to expand the article this morning using Off2riorob's source and a few others I hunted down online. I believe there may be more available in offline photography magazines and books; I'll see what I can find next time I'm at the library.  &mdash; Catherine\talk 20:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - Article has been improved substantially since first listing and now both claims and appropriately sources notability sufficient to withstand WP:N. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
