This article doesn't appear to pass WP:BIO. I tried searching for reliable sources and came up empty handed. Most of the refs don't really cite this person in any signficant way, and as far as I can tell, he is a non-notable photographer, just like the rest of us. Also appears to be WP:AUTO as the primary editors of the article are 2 anons and Xonboy, which I suspect are the person in question. smooth0707 (talk) 21:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete Almost certainly not notable as a photographer; I can't find any references. But may almost be notable for other reasons, if you combine his work as designer, curator, writer, company boss, lecturer, etc, which seems reasonably illustrious, but there's just not the third-party evidence.  Outside of replications of the Wikipedia page, a couple of articles by him, and a few lists/business directories, there's really nothing.  I don't want to delete somebody who collects spacesuits, but most of the references on the article are irrelevant and it's hard to put a case for keeping him. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:38, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable sources. Clear self-promotion. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 16:51, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Damn, this is one of the best personally-generated bios I've ever seen. "Every person has a story," and all that. Of course, that won't count for anything unless good published sources are mustered. I'll give it five minutes of looking and if anyone from ARTICLE RESCUE SQUAD has a bit more time than that, this one might be worth the effort. Carrite (talk) 16:58, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I see reference that "He was profiled in Creative Review's 'Creative Futures 95'" on what looks to be an employer's website. I can't find that on the Net, but if anyone knows where to find that, it could well be a first source. Carrite (talk) 17:05, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Several Wikipedia mirrors, but it's not looking good for this piece. Carrite (talk) 17:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've just found this but I don't think it's enough to change my vote yet. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 17:15, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's funny how some people use Wikipedia as a resume. That would probably explain the depth of this article. I think that news article ironically proves more for the delete case than a keep - as a local newspaper mention hardly warrants notability. smooth0707  (talk) 21:49, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
