 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are a handful of "interviews" in a few magazines, amounting to three or four sentences, about 50 to 75 words. No coverage in depth of Michael Bailey-Gates. Lots of passing mention and trivial covrage, such as having his photos of more notable people appear in notable publications, or articles about other subjects mentioning Bailey-Gates in passing. No major awards or significant body of work, so can't find any way for this to pas WP:ANYBIO, WP:ARTIST, or WP:GNG Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:58, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
