No doubt an intelligent, successful architect but there is no in-depth reliable independent coverage to substantiate Wimer's general notability. I can find nothing substantial online other than a video interview and a quote in a news article, not enough to warrant an article about him. At best he deserves a mention in the SOM article.

 * Delete. WP is not a place to publish your CV. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:06, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I have added additional citations to support this article on wikipedia. The subject is internationally recognized as an architect, has displayed work in exhibits all over the world, has been interviewed and created many projects across the globe. I believe notability has been met in this case. If additional information is desired to expand this article, please advise. Kmsom (talk) 22:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep It's a bit advert-like in tone, but now has sufficient references to establish notability. --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:49, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * If you look at the references, they are not about Wimer. They need to be about Wimer to establish his notability. There are only brief mentions about Wimer, if anything. Sionk (talk) 00:08, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Keep I have added additional information from sources. It's important to note that Wimer has been interviewed extensively about his projects. He was featured on the inaugural cover of Architect Magazine (refer to http://archpaper.com/news/articles.asp?id=785) SOM is a collaborative practice and most published work about people at the firm are related to the iconic buildings that they designed as opposed to about themselves as individuals. I believe notability has been met here, and that the article is relevant + should be retained on Wikipedia. Kmsom (talk) 18:34, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The material added makes the notability clear. And in any case one expects the sources for an article on an architect to focus on his buildings. Architects are notable  because of their buildings. Wha telse is a professional normally notable for except his profession?  DGG ( talk ) 04:12, 19 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Nomination withdrawn - I can see where this one's going! Also, I recognise that Wimer may meet point (1) of WP:CREATIVE because, for example, he was one of a few key examples of the profession chosen to be featured by the AIA in their magazine (thanks for adding the sources).

 * Thank you all! Since the nomination for deletion has been withdrawn, I am going to proceed with taking the deletion/notability notices off the Ross Wimer article. Kmsom (talk) 14:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how to eliminate the AFD info from the Ross Wimer article; I eliminated it but a bot re-added it so clearly I violated a protocol. Sionk, could you take a look at that? Thanks in advance. Kmsom (talk) 14:41, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
