An article about a photographer that doesn't claim any exhibition, any publication, or any other verifiable notability, and that also doesn't name any independent source. The links do suggest that he's a good photographer, but I don't think that this is enough. Google hittage is minimal. Not verifiable. (I wish him well, though, and hope he donates some images to WP.) Hoary 09:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC) again no name no credit taken as it's about BEING there and not who took the shot. Removing me from wiki may save a few Kb on the server and keep me from my 15 minutes of fame, BUT it will also impeed my ability to further contribute. By that, simply put, many groups I petition for access to photograph would have an easier time understanding my objectives if they could read a bit about me on more then just google. Long story short I would like to shoot the abandoned areas of ellis island, the georgia state pen and ASARCO's Utah copper mine, places that would be easier to access if as I said I could point people at what i was looking to accomplish. John kloepper OH and the hits on Google are mostly about me, I have interests also in computer, GIS, roofing, cycling, and music by peter gabriel, just didn't want to go off topic with them
 * Delete Self-promotion for a non-notable photographer. Name gets 399 Ghits, most not about him. Chairman S. Talk  Contribs  09:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. - Per nom. --Bryson 17:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nomination (non-notable). Turgidson 19:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP Self-promotion? to a degree yes, but not my complete CV or life story. My photographs aren't about ME, so any googling, while it does find me, it doesn't always find my works as I post and or donate most of my work annonomously.  When I photograph for the state, county or some other group involved in historic perservation it's not so you can see my name on the picture, but rather so you will SEE the picture.  ALSO I go by my e-mail name primairily, SHELKA04 a search under that reveals a few hundred additonal hits.  My current project " a civil war era mental hospital" while still in progress can be viewed here: http://www.geocities.com/shelka04/upload.mov
 * Delete, as non-notable and unverifiable. In addition, and in response to the comments above, please see WP:Not.  The fact that the author/subject claims to use Wiki as a springboard to greater fame ("keep me from my 15 minutes") and as a platform to achieve access is contrary to the purposes of an encyclopedia.

 * KEEP, What if any is the difference between this entry and say this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Enos —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.213.162.222 (talk) 05:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
 * Well, ah, this one has dodgier spelling for a start. No, the article on Enos is not so good. No, Enos is not so notable. But Enos is half of Streetstudio, which I think I remember reading about in a real, dead-trees newspaper, and which for example was a Yahoo "pick" (whatever that means) and which gets a lot more googlehittage than Kloepper does. Does Enos warrant an article? I don't know, but he does appear to be more notable than Kloepper does. -- Hoary 09:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, self promotion, vanity and non notable. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. The Boy that time forgot 16:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
