Winner of an award with questionable notability; while there are some reliable sources sited, none have any depth whatsoever, just photography credits or brief mentions. OhNo itsJamie Talk 03:53, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep, if you are a notable photographer, I assume having a lot of reliable sources citing your photographs is probably what cuts it. Feel free to tell me if you know about photography that I am wrong. Andre🚐 05:14, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete : Questionable notability, promotional activity, lack of "suitable" sources

Also, "Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article."-WP:BLP
 * The article is created entirely for the purpose of self-promotion. The article creator User:Rivugayen is the person himself (see article history and user's contributions across wikimedia). The tone is non-neutral, most of the content is original research (autobiographical) lacking any source.
 * Of the 21 media outlet urls cited, about 5-6 sites are mentions of a single photograph, the rest are just photo credits. None has any depth as already mentioned above.
 * As for Notability: only acheivements are winning a couple of awards, I could not find anything of significance about the person on the web. The awards aren't "exceptional" and this does not count as "Significant coverage". The awards themselves are of questionable notability, a good many number of photographers win the awards every year, we do not need seperate articles about each of them solely on the basis of those.
