Mark Horiuchi
This looks like a vanity page to me. The text was cut and pasted from his website. I found one other biographical entry on the web, but it was also pasted from his website. There are no articles about him in the archives of ClayTimes, one of the two major pottery magazines. The page was also listed as an orphan. Paul Stokstad 20:38, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity and possibly NN. - Rudykog 20:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Relisting due to insufficient votes. - Mailer Diablo 09:54, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * delete Sometimes things get awkward - his great-uncle clearly is an important artist [] and deserves a wikipedia page, but doesn't have one. His brother is a competent but NN commercial photographer [] and he is a competent but NN ceramicist. MNewnham 15:10, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The great uncle deserves a page. Durova 16:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for all of the above Paul 18:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
