Mark Busse
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article was deleted once. It was recreated last year and the issues addressed in the last AfD seem to still apply. This article appears to be used mainly for promotional purposes and is written like a press press release or advertisement. As a graphic designer he seems to have a thriving practice but not enough to make him notable. In other words, I don't see him being more notable than any other graphic designer. There are no third-party sources to satisfy notability and his publication record is indicative of a working designer like many others, but not one sufficiently notable to warrant an article here.  freshacconci  speak to me  15:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Where is the assertion of notability? When someone gets to the point of thinking their career has had so much success that they are "notable" in terms of wikipedia, they always still need to ask first if there is non-trivial reliable third party coverage on them. For Busse, that answers looks to be no, google news search all dates doesnt show anything relating to this Mark Busse. Furthermore, current claims about any importance regarding "debate over the title Graphic Designer" aren't backed by anything, and I can't find anything. Personal blog articles and company profiles are available for virtually any working professional, they aren't reliable or establish notability. Without something more, delete.

Non-print reliable sources are as reliable as printed ones. --Eastmain (talk) 19:23, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Non-trivial references include:
 * "CBC Radio interview" (English) with Mark Busse about documentary film Helvetica (2007) (this is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
 * Interview in documentary film Branding and the Human Billboard by filmmaker Sofie Rousmaniere (2005).
 * Comment The CBS link was dead when I tried it, but it looks as if it's an interview with Busse, not about him. So although it could provide content about his views etc. it doesn't in itself establish notability.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 11:15, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. I do not believe the external links and/or references provided show significant coverage in reliable sources that is sufficient to establish notability under WP:BIO. — Satori Son 21:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
