Michael Weismore

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable artist who apparently only currently has notability in the Syracuse, New York area. Most G-hits are to his own site and craigslist with only minor coverage in some local papers. No evidence of notability outside Syracuse. Violates WP:N. Oh, and the entire article is also a clear cut violation of WP:COI as it appears to be by Mr. Weismore himself.

 * Delete as not notable. Trivial mentions in media, the "book" about him is from a vanity press outfit, Blurb, Inc., and as far as I can tell doesn't even have an ISBN number. DreamGuy (talk) 14:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
