Most of the article deals with the "zone system" which already has a substantial article of it's own. Subject seems to have no notability beyond that system.

 * Redirect to Frederick Scott Archer. This article isn't about the person, and the hatnote at the destination points to the Fred Arthur dab page, where the sentence that is about the 20th century person can be merged with a link to the zone system. Thryduulf (talk) 23:59, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Fred Archer (this one) was a notable Hollywood portrait photographer, and was instrumental in the development and use of still photopgraphy in Hollywood, and in it's use in advancing the film careers of various actors. The zone theory was not his most important contribution. His photos are now very rare, and very expensive. Michael Dawson covers him in LA's Early Moderns, and there is a small collection of his photos at the Goldwyn Hollywood Public Library. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dstrehl (talk • contribs) 18:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.
