Not seeing anything out of the ordinary about this photographer, no awards, no memorable photos. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge No sources found, could be a redirect to the museum where his papers are held. Oaktree b (talk) 13:47, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - I found a few hits using his full name "Everett L. Fuller" or "Everett L. Shorty Fuller", but nothing substanital so far, mostly photo credits. 617 of his photos are in the Idaho archive (added a citation). Netherzone (talk) 15:26, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to Idaho State Historical Society, unless more turns up. Johnbod (talk) 16:10, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge - to either to Idaho State Historical Society, or to Idaho Statesman. I've done a fairly extensive BEFORE using several variations on his name; did not find anything to support notability. It seems he was important to Idaho history as a photographer/photojournalist, otherwise I doubt the Historical Society would have 3,000 of his negatives, prints and additional materials, however there is not enough about him online or in a newspaper search to support GNG nor NARTIST. He should be mentioned somewhere in the encyclopedia though; I added a small entry to supplement his name that was already in the Idaho Statesman article. Netherzone (talk) 16:58, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose merger -- Idaho State Hist Soc no doubt has many collections in its archive. It might be appropriate to have a "list of collections" section, but such a list could only have the odd sentence on each collection,  Equally a merger to the newspaper that he worked for would upset the balance of that article.  It is wrong to say there are no sources.  There are sources and I would expect a State Historical Society's publications to be accurate, though they would not be independent of the repository.  I am not sure that we can have an article supporting every deposit in every museum/archive, but 3000 negatives is not inconsiderable.  Weak keep.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:27, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Peterkingiron I agree with you that 3,000 negatives in a collection is impressive and suggests notability. I searched for another collection since two notable public collections would meet criteria 4 of WP:NARTIST, however I couldn't find anything verifiable after searching museums in Idaho, and the obvious national museum collections. I'm open to changing my !vote, if another collection or some SIGCOV is found. Netherzone (talk) 01:55, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
