Queen Sirikit Navaratna

An article about a necklace. I'm sure it's pretty and all, but the author of the article (also the maker of the necklace), Richard Shaw Brown is basically spamming for his jewelry business here. Herostratus 04:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless there is some indication that this necklace is part of the Thai royal regalia. Edeans 04:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The author did an admirable job meeting the requirements of WP:V, but completely missed WP:N. janejellyroll 05:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet notability guidelines. Non-encyclopedic by itself. -- Emana 07:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Richard Shaw Brown. The photo is probably worth having there, and this one-sentence article can be boiled down to a caption.  &mdash;Cel  ithemis 
 * A merge may not be a choice at all, because that page has been under fire repeatedly. Mentioning anything related to his current commercial endevours is what got the other page tagged for AfD before. -- Emana 00:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If a notable minor rock star had become a painter and gotten some attention for that, an image of one of his paintings would be relevant, even though he made money from his art. I see no fundamental difference here.  The caption should be brief and neutral, of course.
 * One of the issues in the no-consensus AFD for Richard Shaw Brown was people's inability to find the profile of him in the International Herald Tribune -- unsurprisingly, considering that it had both the wrong title and the wrong date. I did find it in ProQuest Newsstand and corrected the citation.  It's all about the gemology, mentioning the band only briefly.  There were several other articles mentioning his work as a jeweller/gemologist as well; I have no problem believing there'd be more if I had better access to Thai publications.  The section certainly needs cleanup, but it's notable within the context of his life.  &mdash;Cel  ithemis  01:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

He is currently working as a gemologist and designer in Bangkok, Thailand , etc. Brown has 11 published books. He has appeared on television in Thailand 30 times. Over 200 articles about and also by Brown have been published in various magazines and newspapers in Bangkok, Asia and abroad
 * Merge to Richard Shaw Brown. Emana said in another talk that my notability STOPPED with the band. Actually this is the opposite of the recorded facts. To the Richard Shaw Brown page we have 15 references given on post band notability, for example:
